Hi. Sorry for the late response.

Could you please specify your idea? I don't understand what you exactly want. Thanks!

@Aaron-Junker Aaron-Junker sorry about the late reply as well. I just saw that you responded. Well. I have to write latex all of the time as most do. I cannot get the alt keys for superscript or subscript.

There is a great keyboard I found that is Open Source that would be cool if you guys integrated. https://cortexjs.io/mathlive/demo/

But my issue is that of non-latex. Many sites do not support it. The superscript on Microsoft Word does not work to copy and paste into since the two encodings are incompatible. If I save the subscript/superscript into a file. It turns into another encoding. This is the bane of my existence: 5^{-2}

I would gladly accept to use the Microsoft Solver keyboard, but it uses Katex.

@Lexxos Lets not talk about implementation but the actual ask. While i'm aware of latex, i've never used it so trying to understand the interaction here. Also the top ask and this most recent comment seem to be different asks (text input vs copy/paste encoding issue)

Is this a copy / paste issue or a input issue? /needinfo
