    @raganwald @david_megginson Ooh, I wish I’d read that. My little typographical journey has meandered from a hodgepodge of homebrewed macros (http://www.breakingthin.gs/2012-07-13-on-practicality.html) to discovering the built-in features on Mac and, on Linux, the compose key (https://ar.al/2018/07/18/typographical-typing-habits-for-linux/) to bringing the compose key to Mac (https://mastodon.ar.al/@aral/113351694017857830). It’s been a fun ride and I’m not now, nor have I ever been, an AI.

      Typographical typing habits for Linux
      Many of our bad habits date back to the limitations of typewriters. Typography lends us the voice that the written word takes away from us. Good typography makes your message accessible and comprehensible and strengthens its intent. Bad typography can have the opposite effect: it can cloud your meaning and give you a raspy voice. I first started making an effort to write using semantic typographical habits about six years ago.

Well, fear not, because you can emulate it as Howard Rogers has basically recreated it using DefaultKeyBinding.dict: https://absolutelybaching.com/a-compose-key-for-the-mac/ (In Vial, I made my Caps Lock produce a § and mapped it to that.) * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compose_key #ComposeKey #macOS

      @david_megginson I got started with “The Mac is Not a Typewriter.” There's an entire generation of people who followed its suggestions like a modern-day Strunk & White.
