The Problem
Special characters can often be annoying to use.
There are many different ways to insert special characters, and many programs have specific ways to insert them.
Word also has specialized keyboard shortcuts for many of the common special characters.
For example, you’re free to insert the Registered Trademark symbol by pressing Alt+Ctrl+R.
Thats a rather unwieldy shortcut, but its better than the default Windows shortcut for that symbol.
Now thats a difficult shortcut to remember.
This will let you press Alt+ the character of your choice to enter a special character.
Now paste this instead of Your_special_character.
For Example, we want to enter the degrees symbol by pressing Alt+o.
Now, we can simply press Alt+o to enter .
Entering the temperature just got easier!
you’re free to substitute !
for ^ if youd like to use Ctrl instead of Alt for your shortcuts.
Heres some scripts for common special characters we wanted to use this with.
Note that you’re able to have as many of these in one script file as you like.
