SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the need for a mathematical keyboard layout compatible with word processing programs such as Microsoft Word and Notepad. Participants express interest in a layout similar to existing Input Method Editors (IMEs) used for languages like Chinese. The consensus indicates that while no specific mathematical keyboard layout currently exists, the concept is appealing for enhancing mathematical typing efficiency.

Anyone know if there is a mathematical keyboard layout for all the word programs(word,notepad,MSword)? Similar to the other language keyboard layouts(IMEs?) like the chinese one for bopomofo?
