## About

This userscript gives users some quick key bindings to speed up the process of editing mathjax/chem/etc. into posts.

**Example usage**: (the hotkeys are customizable!)

1. Pressing Alt+Shift+P would insert `\pi` directly.
2. Pressing Alt+R would insert `\mathrm{}` with the caret auto-placed in the middle. Pressing Alt-R again would _unwrap_ the `\mathrm{}` back.
3. Pressing Alt+R with some `text` pre-selected would insert `\mathrm{text}`, retaining the selection on the text. Pressing Alt-R again would _unwrap_ the `\mathrm{text}` back to `text`, retaining the selection on text.
4. Prepending Ctrl to any of the above keybindings will auto-surround the insertion text with `$$` (or `\$` on some other SE sites)
5. The keybinding and its associated insertion text can be modified by the user. So, you can set it to insert `\pi` on Alt+A instead.

Moreover, there are certain reserved keycodes like: 

- Alt-Z => dollar-ifying (`text` => `$text$`)
- Alt-C => double dollar-ifying (`text` => `$$text$$`)
- Alt-A => frac-ify (`A/B` => `\frac{A}{B}`)
- Alt-S => align-ify ([image demo](https://i.sstatic.net/RmWFQ.png))

You can still change their keycode or entirely disable them as well, the given Z/C/A/etc. keycombos are just the default values. Read more on the [GitHub page][1].
