• How do I install Emily's symbols?
  1 project | /r/Plover | 8 Feb 2023

  I'd like to try Emily's Symbols but don't know how to install it. Can anyone help me out?

• My latest design, the proto3, now with a whopping 42 keys.

  There are no easy/standard steno chords for special symbols (e.g. !@#$%^&*). (I like to use [Emily's Symbol Dictionary]( https://github.com/EPLHREU/emily-symbols) for this.)

• Can Plover be used to type formulas?

  You can easily extend Emily Symbols to do whatever symbols you like. You can also use Emily Modifiers to take advantage of any keyboard shortcuts that exist in the editor you are using.

• The T-34 keyboard layout

  > Does it work for programming?

  Yes, you can customize your dictionaries as much as you like and add common words/symbols that you use in programming, and there are decent options for writing in camelCase etc. There's also Emily's symbol dictionary which is good for writing various symbols [1], here's a poster showing all the symbols available in it [2].

  > does it work for typing in different languages?

  Yes. As long as there's an existing steno theory for the languages you want to use, then you can download those dictionaries and learn those theories. But if there isn't an existing theory/dictionary for a language then you can just use fingerspelling instead [3] (i.e., write letter by letter like on a regular keyboard), although that's ofc much slower than regular Steno is.

• Just completed my new desk setup! (feat. old one for comparison)

  I'm using Plover to input text into my computer from the steno machine, and its translation engine supports several casing modes (including camelCase, snake_case and even kebab-case), so you can easily write variable names and what not. In addition, someone made a symbols dictionary that lets me type all sorts of punctuation and operators. Great for all kinds of computer use, not just code specifically.

• Any coders out there primarily use steno/plover?
  1 project | /r/Plover | 17 Apr 2021

  Take a look at Emily's Symbols, they make writing various odd symbols a breeze. I'm only aware of Ted (developer of Plover) who uses steno for his coding work.
