the most convenient way?

Peng

Hi Peng,

The code points are 2192 for "→", and 2190 for "←".

In Emacs, you type "M-x ucs-insert", then the code point, then <Enter>.

With GTK-based apps, it's Shift-Ctrl-u, then the codepoint, then <Enter>.

I use vim. Does anybody know any shortcut?

I quick search http://duckduckgo.com/?q=vim+insert+unicode turned up a
number of links, including this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_input . Vim is mentioned in
there.

You can do magic with .vimrc, but if you use vim, you're probably on some
sort of Unix, and it's less confusing to have your keyboard the same for all
applications.

On  an X-window based system (I can actually only confirm for Gnome)
shortcuts are handled as specified in a file named Compose.  `man Compose`
will tell you where the file is.  The file tells you about all
predefined multikey
sequences, e.g. mine has these lines:

<Multi_key> <less> <minus>      : "←"   U2190 # LEFTWARDS ARROW
<Multi_key> <minus> <greater>   : "→"   U2192 # RIGHTWARDS ARROW
<Multi_key> <equal> <greater>   : "⇒"   U21D2 # RIGHT DOUBLE ARROW
<Multi_key> <less> <equal>      : "⇐"   U21D0 # LEFT DOUBLE ARROW

You need to have specified a Multi key (aka Compose key) somewhere; Gnome
can do it from the settings menu.

I happen to be a Vim user on Windows, but I feel the same way, and use 
AutoHotKey for my hotkeys for that exact reason. Also lets me have 
app-specific macros for apps that don't even support them natively, or 
without having to learn a new paradigm for each that does.

I use mac. So I guess this won't help natively? (Also, I'm not sure
what is Multi_key on mac)

Is there a way to just convert -> into an arrow for example in --smart?

vim digraph feature should work everywhere, e.g. ^K<- and ^K->

Note, however, that if you use SCIM (for providing various input
methods), the compose configuration file is ignored, unfortunately.
Maybe other, more recent input method implementations have this fixed.

Yes, this is what I use.

Remember that you can also use HTML entities in markdown
(and they'll work properly in all output formats).  So,
for example, `&larr;` `&rarr;`.

Just wanted to note that there's a Pandoc filter (written in Perl) that 
converts ASCII arrows to Latex arrows: 
https://github.com/nichtich/pandoc-filter-arrows

I've tested it quickly and it seems to work as expected. And even doesn't 
interpret/break (multiline) HTML comments (<!-- -->)!
