| Option is used extensively for non-Ascii characters, a comprehensive list would be quite long. A few of the easier to remember: option + 0 for degrees º option + u for to place an umlaut over the next typed character (when it's a valid combination, anyway) ëüä option + c for cedilla ç |

| ▲ | shmerl 7 hours ago | parent [-] | | Interesting. Kind of reinventing Compose key combos. I wonder why they didn't just reuse Compose ones from FreeBSD. | | |

| I use µ for microns or micrometers µm. Option + m. Also if you need ad-hoc bullets, just reach for option + 8. • Like this. The difficulty in accessing symbols like these is one of my (I'm sure correctable) hang-ups when using Linux — Arch, btw. |
