Keystrokes

keystrokes are my personal shortcuts. I tend to optimize everything, so I have a lot, including bizarre ones (e.g., Alt Gr+Shift+U). I use keymapper as the linux application to control most of my keyboard shorcuts. Below I list the controllers in use, by controller keys, naming the keys as they are engraved on my French (AZERTY) keyboard—which is not always how they read in keymapper.conf: there, {A}, {W}, {Semicolon}, etc., are scan codes (US positions, unaffected by the layout), so {A} is my Q, {W} is my Z and {Semicolon} is my M, while quoted characters such as 'a' are read through the layout and mean the key that really types a.

Ctrl + Alt

Ctrl + Alt

  1. B → bibTeX sci.bib
  2. C → {{cite|}}
  3. D → dates2wiki, the selected date becomes {{thisday|5|September|2024}} (a KDE shortcut, not keymapper)
  4. G → <syntaxhighlight lang=""></syntaxhighlight>
  5. K → this very page, in Chrome (the local wiki)
  6. L → LocalSettings.php of the local wiki
  7. M → ñ (that key is ñ on the Spanish layout; typed through the Compose key, since the French layout has no ñ)
  8. N → <nowiki></nowiki>
  9. O → <blockquote></blockquote>
  10. P → <pre></pre>
  11. Q → {{quote|}}
  12. R → == References ==<references />
  13. T → <tt></tt>
  14. Z → wz <wz tip="">(?!)</wz>

Ctrl + Alt + ShiftRight

  1. B → bibTeX ISO4
  2. C → {{onlinecite|}}
  3. K → keymapper.conf
  4. Q → {{onlinequote|}}
  5. Y → gotoYouTube, jumps to the window (and tab) that is playing, typically YouTube
  6. Z → <wz tagtotip=></wz><span id=""></span>

Ctrl + Alt + Alt Gr

  1. {C} → {{citet|}}

Ctrl + Shift

  1. Space → &nbsp;
  2. C → {{citet|}}

Alt Gr

The Alt Gr shortcuts are sometimes good by default, but rarely so, e.g., one never needs ¬, ŧ, ø, ¤, ð, đ, ŋ, ̉ (the modifier for ả, ẻ, ỏ which are cute, but one also doesn't need those), ł (besides, mapped on two keys: l and z), ¢, „, “, ”,' (another modifier but as French I have the letters é, è, à, ù, etc.), •, ·, . ̣̣̣(the modifier for ạ, ẹ, etc.), and only very rarely needs æ (Læticia), ħ (not even the Physics one which is the tilted ℏ), etc.

This also applies to the Alg Gr + Shift keys: ¬⅛£$⅜⅝⅞™±°¿Æ<¢—Ŧ¥↑ıØÞΩẞЪŊĦ ̛&Łºǎ㦣>©‚‘’˝÷, etc.

Instead, my shorcuts are:
