Darais Unicode Input

This is an alternative unicode input mode for Emacs, Vim and Atom.

Vim

• Put unicode.vim in your ~/.vim/plugin/ folder.

Emacs

• Put unicode.el in your ~/.emacs.d/lib folder.
• Add (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/lib") to your ~/.emacs.d/init.el file.

Atom

• Add unicode-init.coffee to your ~/.atom/init.coffee file.
• Add unicode-keymap.cson to your ~/.atom/keymap.cson file.

macOS

For installing system-wide keybindings on macOS.

• Install Karabiner-Elements.
• Open Karabiner-Elements. In Simple Modifications → For all devices, pick a key to map to non_us_backslash (in "Controls and symbols"), e.g. page_down → non_us_backslash.
• Add DefaultKeyBinding.dict to ~/Library/KeyBindings (create the directory if not present).
• Restart each application for the new bindings to take effect, or log out and log back in to restart all apps.

Fonts

• Try XDejaVuSansMono-*.ttf for programming with unicode; it's a mashup of DejaVuSansMono (for latin character) and SourceCodepro, DejaVuMathTeXGyre, Symbola, Quivira and ArialUnicode (for unicode characters). The other X<fontname>-* fonts have the same extension fonts, just a different base font.

Supported Characters

• See unicode-input.txt for a list of all characters and their input codes (each implicitly preceded by \).
