I am dysgraphic and use a keyboard for input as much as possible. I am taking a math class that has a lot of text mixed in with a lot of math symbols. I would love to be able to use my microsoft surface with a keyboard to type out symbols like ∈ and ∀.

I had the idea that I could use a customizable on screen keyboard. Does anyone know of a way to do that?

    If Surfaces can install it (a quick search suggests that it can), you can use AutoHotkey to build your own GUI/popup window of an adjustable list of all of these nonstandard characters. Think of it like a customizable charmap only showing the ones you wanna see in your specified order.

    Alternatively, you could use AutoHotkey to map Alt+Shift+E or whatever you want to instantly spit out ∈, etc.

    I’d be happy to help you further in [email protected].

      I think this might be exactly what I was looking for. I just got started with it and there’s a lot to cover.
