Note: When I say hot string, I mean a string of characters that, when typed, are automatically replaced with a mathematical symbol. e.g. “frac” is replaced with a fraction symbol.
Some hot strings are long and cumbersome, like giventhat, evaluateat, and epsilon. I think shortening these and others to something like “giv”,“eval”, and “eps” would be immensely helpful. Also or alternatively helpful would be a way for users to customize default hot strings to their preference. I use Hypatia to take notes during lectures and cumbersome strings like this can cause me to fall a bit behind.
Also, I’ve used d/dx or partial/partialx dozens of times in a single insert and typing them out that many times gets pretty frustrating (fracdd and fracpartialpartial). Hot strings for those would also be great, like dd and pdd, or ndd and npdd for nth order derivatives.
P.S. Hypatia has been a lifesaver since written notes and Latex tend to be a struggle for me. Keep up the good work!
