2023-03-05 08:23:26 +0100 <jeanbtrd> Solid: I don't exactly remember what I asked you (first times using irc with a bouncer, need to get used to it) but I think it was about having to create a new .kbd file and systemd service for each new keyboard. That's how I'm doing it right now, it's fine. Thank you!

2023-03-05 08:26:48 +0100 <jeanbtrd> I'm having some problems typing $ all the time for latex, because of the sft key. Things like $x$ are a torture for my pinky. In general, I'd like to reposition sft somewhere else, have you guys got any suggestion? Caps is already mapped to (tap-hold 140 esc lctl).
2023-03-05 08:29:02 +0100 <jeanbtrd> I've tried tab as (tap-hold 140 tab sft), but I couldn't use it. Also it made alt-tab, which I use all the time, behave weirdly. I was thinking about doing space as (tap-hold 140 spc sft) but I can't have the space key have any sort of delay or weird behaviour (apart from actual space, I use it all the time in doom emacs).
2023-03-05 11:36:37 +0100 <Solid> jeanbtrd: I could instead recommend directly putting $ it on a layer
2023-03-05 11:37:26 +0100 <Solid> and then finding a convenient key for that layer (for example, I use the right Alt key as a kind of special symbol layer, and have $ on the QWERTY w key)
2023-03-05 11:38:41 +0100 <Solid> alternatively, needlessly optimise your setup so that simply pressing x<space> in a LaTeX document will generate $x$ instead :> ( https://tony-zorman.com/posts/emacs-potpourri.html#latex-for-the-lazy-mathematician )
2023-03-05 12:12:40 +0100 <jeanbtrd> Solid: I don't understand, how does that guy write actual space?
2023-03-05 12:14:16 +0100 <jeanbtrd> I'll probably try making a second layer for this stuff. Do you toggle it with right Alt or do you use it as a modifier? In any case, you still have it working as a modifiers for things like [] and {}, right?
2023-03-05 12:16:28 +0100 <jeanbtrd> Thank you btw
2023-03-05 13:00:31 +0100 <Solid> jeanbtrd: the insertion function checks whether the previous word matches some criteria and, if yes, wraps it in dollar symbols, so pressing space in any other context still inserts a space
2023-03-05 13:01:17 +0100 <Solid> and I use Ralt as a modifier, personally, since it seems easy enough to hold down whenever I need to type several symbols in a row (plus, this seldomly happens)
2023-03-05 13:02:47 +0100 <Solid> "you still have it working as a modifiers for things like [] and {}, right?" << I'm not sure what you mean by this; I use a US layout, so inserting [] and {} is done by either the dedicated key, or a shifted version thereof. I only insert () via the Ralt modifier
2023-03-05 14:01:15 +0100 <jeanbtrd> Solid: Sorry, I'm on an italian keyboard so Ralt (here called Alt Gr, don't know about US keyboards) is needed for square and curly brackets (and other stuff on the right side near return).
2023-03-05 14:07:21 +0100 <jeanbtrd> I closed by mistake so if you wrote something I've missed it. So that slot/LaTeX-self-insert function is only for single char things like $x$?
2023-03-05 14:13:26 +0100 <Solid> jeanbtrd: yes, it's mostly so that single character insertions aren't so unergonomic anymore
2023-03-05 14:24:43 +0100 <jeanbtrd> Ok thank you.
