For those following this thread: I've just discovered a tool called Vysor which allows you to control your fire tv from another device (like your laptop). It's not a native remote.. it feels like VNC / remote access, though i'm not sure how it's actually implemented. Either way, it works great. There's a guide on troypoint: https://troypoint.com/firestick-remote-access/

I use a fair few of already mentioned apps from above so won't repeat. Here's a few I didn't see or missed. winget - native package manage in Windows Vysor - Android mirroring Huetro - Philips Hue control Twinkletray - Twinkle Tray lets you easily manage the brightness levels of multiple monitors XnView MP - XnView MP is a versatile and powerful photo viewer, image management, image resizer. WinAreo - for applying a few tweaks here and there Screen Ruler - especially useful when working with graphics nirsoft.net - too many to mention Shutter - lots of conditional shutdown options TheMatrixTrilogy - My preferred screensaver of choice reg2ps.azurewebsites.net - honourable mention of service for converting .reg files to PowerShell.

Touche compose. Natif sous linux, et sous windows : https://github.com/samhocevar/wincompose

Julia has made symbol input manageable and lets you define infix operators for many of the Unicode symbols that make sense for that. [1] And JuliaMono was designed to support the symbols that Julia does. [2]

I generally do quite fine with my Compose Key configuration, though (even on Windows, where I use WinCompose). [3]

On Windows, I use http://wincompose.info/ for all my special-character needs (and use the system compose key on Linux).

na windowsa jest sobie WinCompose

Credit to wincompose's GUI for inspiration, which provides similar functionality on Windows.

I’ve previously used a nice little tool called WinCompose for exactly that. Looks like it’s still going:

Malgré to, yo recomanda WinCompose o simil si tu es in Windows.

I use WinCompose which gives me the same compose-key functionality that's built into Linux. I've chosen one key on my keyboard to be the Compose key (I use Right-Alt, but you can pick any key that's convenient). Then I can type

Assuming you are on desktop/laptop:

The long-winded way is to use your OS's character map tool: find the glyph you want there and copy+paste. Under Windows 10+ there is the emoji keyboard (hit [win]+;) which also gives access to much more including super-/sub- script characters, which is a little more convenient than character map. Presumably other OSs have similar available too.

Better is to have support for a compose key sequence. Usually build in to Linux & similar, you just might have to find the setting to turn it on and configure what your compose key is. Under Windows I use http://wincompose.info/ and there are a couple of similar tools out there. In any case it is useful for more than super- and sub-scripts: accented characters & similar (áàäæçffñ), some fractions (¼,½,¾), other symbols (°∞™®↑↓←→‽¡¿⸘♥⋘»‱), and configurable too so you can make what you use most easiest to access (and if you are really sad like me you can do something https://xkcd.com/2583/ to type hallelujah too!).
