How many of you use #LaTeX, and also use #BetterTouchTool or some other kind of macro manager? Would you like something to make your life easier?
I've been using BTT forever to do window tiling and system control tasks. When I started grad school, I decided to do all my homework typeset in LaTeX, because my professors seemed nice and did not deserve to be subjected to my handwriting. This, of course, was tedious af, and I went in search of tools.
Long story short, I hated most of the LaTeX editors out there, and I'm now using TeX Shop and my own custom batch of macros that, I believe, radically improve my LaTeX writing speed. For example:
`…i` gives "\(\implies\)"
`,,,f` gives "`\frac{}{}`" with the text insertion point in the numerator
`;;;m` gives the `begin` and `end` statements for `bmatrix`, with the insertion point set appropriately
...and more. Piles of them, moderately well organized, used in conjunction with a short `.sty` file containing some macros that come in handy for the classes I'm taking. Everything is optimized for the stuff I do most commonly on a Dvorak keyboard, but it's easy to edit to suit your needs.
Anyway, is anyone interested enough that I should take a couple hours to tidy it up and throw it on GitHub?
