Fair enough, but having to always remember to configure that on all my work machines is kind of a pain. Although I do use an ergodox with QMK firmware a lot so I suppose I could support that inside the keyboard.

But then my 5 work laptops all need the same thing configured for working on the train

Here's hoping someone talks him into just supporting normal ASCII symbols.

I see it as part of the suite of tools that one ends up installing on all client machines anyway. Most people don’t use just a stock OS installation without any additions.

Also, some editors have this built in, like Vim with Ctrl+K [0], and a Misty IDE presumably would have some equivalent.

ASCII is quite limiting, so it would be nice if we could move a little bit out of that lowest common denominator.
