An alternative way to input unicode characters with Autokey

The post Add any symbol without leaving the keyboard explains how to input unicode characters easily on Linux. However, the instructions given may not always work or you may be stuck with Autokey version 2, which doesn't play nice with unicode. What follows is a brief description of a work-around.

First, create a file called MyCopy.py containing the following

import sys
reload(sys)
sys.setdefaultencoding('utf8')

Running an m-file or selected code from Sublime in Matlab's command window

A supplement to the Brushing Up Science post: Invest in a good text editor

I use both Matlab and Sublime Text. Although I edit m-files in Sublime, when I run the file or evaluate lines, I do so in Matlab. Detailed below is how I achieve this in such a way that if I want to run the file or evaluate the selected lines, I simply press Shift + Enter.

This example works for Windows using AutoHotKey. For Linux instructions, click here

Running a Python script or selected code from Sublime in Spyder's IPython console

A supplement to the Brushing Up Science post: Invest in a good text editor

I like to use both Python and Sublime Text. But I also like Spyder as a Python IDE. Therefore, although I edit in Sublime, to run scripts or evaluate lines of code in a REPL-like fashion, I do so via Spyder. Detailed below is how I achieve this in such a way that if I want to run the file or evaluate the selected lines, I simply press Shift + Enter.

#SingleInstance Force
; AutoHotKey script to allow for easy input of various unicode characters often used in science.
; Written by Ken Hughes Jan 2015
; Tested with Windows 7 and 10
; Example:
; Type in /Delta and the script will automatically replace with Δ
; For best results, save this script into your startup folder which will be something like
; C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

; Autohotkey allows simpler ways to convert text to other text, but for unicode characters to work with Inkscape as well, they appear to need the function svc below.
