[texworks] Wrapping a text in math mode

[Uwe Ziegenhagen]

You could also use a shortcut expander (autohotkey on Windows, Textexpander
on Mac OS or Autokey on Linux). Here's an example for Autohotkey, one of my
most favorite tools:

:*:\(::\(\){LEFT 2}


as soon as "\(" is pressed "\)" is added and the cursor is put between
behind the "(".


Uwe

PS: Autohotkey makes TeXing much faster in general, here are a few
shortcuts from my AHK file. "i#" is the shortcut, behind the :: is the
expanded text.


:*:i#::\item{Space}
:*:di#::\item[]{LEFT}
:*:it#::\textit{{}{}}{LEFT}
:*:item#::\begin{{}itemize{}}`r\item `r\item `r\item `r\end{{}itemize{}}{UP
3}
:*:citem#::\begin{{}compactitem{}}`r\item `r\item `r\item
`r\end{{}compactitem{}}{UP 3}

:*:s#::\section{{}{}}{LEFT}
:*:sc#::\textsc{{}{}}{LEFT}
:*:ss#::\subsection{{}{}}{LEFT}
:*:sss#::\subsubsection{{}{}}{LEFT}
:*:std#::\usepackage[utf8]{{}inputenc{}}`r\usepackage[T1]{{}fontenc{}}`r\usepackage{{}booktabs{}}`r\usepackage{{}babel{}}`r\usepackage{{}graphicx{}}`r\usepackage{{}csquotes{}}`r\usepackage{{}paralist{}}`r\usepackage{{}xcolor{}}
