Superscript and Subscript Shortcuts

Post by squelchy451 »

I like to use the shortcuts Ctrl+Shift+= for ^{} and Ctrl+Shift+- for _{}.

For some reason, when I enter in the key combinations for ^{}, the TeXmaker reads it as Ctrl++, which works fine. However, for _{}, Ctrl+Shift+- is interpreted as Ctrl+Shift+_, which doesn't make sense. It should be like Ctrl+Shift+- (as it was in TeXstudio) or Ctrl+_, as it had done with the +/= key.

Is there a way to "type in" the combination, i.e. write in the keyboard combination instead of having the program grab the keys.

I really liked TeXstudio for that ability, but it just kept on inserting useless spaces and placeholders for shortcuts.

Thank you
