ANN: digraphs outside of Vim

All,

As my job has changed over the years, I find myself spending less time
using Vim and (alas) more time using Outlook. However, one of my
favourite features of Vim for typing (with Pandoc or whatever) is
simplicity of entering symbols using Ctrl-K and a two-letter
representation of the symbol.

I liked the feature so much that a few years ago I made a little
python program (also available compiled as a Windows executable) to
make those digraphs available in any application. It is only really
for Windows, although the core GUI and digraph code can run anywhere
python/PySide runs.

Anyway, in case this is of interest to other Vim users, I thought I'd
announce it here.

The source code and instructions are available at
https://bitbucket.org/abudden/digraph

The Windows executable is here: https://bitbucket.org/abudden/digraph/downloads/

There is a handy table of the digraphs I use most often here:
