Hello,
Easy question: how to get 1/2 symbol without entering math mode (using
Minion Pro font)?
Best,
Vyatcheslav

What the combination to get ½ on a mac?
Another way is to use the 'frac' feature.
\definefontfeature[frac][default][script=latn,frac=yes]
\definefont[minion][name:minionproregular*default]
\def\utffrac{\groupedcommand{\setfontfeature{frac}}{}}
\starttext
\minion 1/2 \utffrac{1/2} 1/2 \utffrac{12345/6789} 12345/6789
\stoptext
Wolfgang

Sadly, there doesn't seem to be a keyboard shortcut; I inserted it via
the Character Palette.

If you use the Unicode Hex Input keyboard layout: press the Option key and enter four hex digits to specify the hex code of any glyph.
Also, under any layout, when used with other keys, the Option key produces special symbols. The Keyboard Viewer, which users can add to the Input menu in the International pane of System Preferences, shows which keys generate each symbol. I do not know if ½ is included under what layout.
Under X11, this is as simple as COMPOSE+1+2. I do not know how this can be configured on the Mac.

there is a frac feature in some fonts but it might be crappy in some
fonts in the sense that it has to be applied selectively

The frac feature is available in the Minion font and I showed how to use it
in my previous mail.
