Re: Input continuous stream of digraphs

Hi guys, I want to know if it is possible to input digraphs continuously.

For example, when writing some math related assignment, often I have to write many symbols which I do using digraphs. But using <C-k> every time seems tedious. Is there a way I can make <C-k> (or anything else) work for infinite digraphs, until I manually end it.

Thanks

Rather than digraphs, maybe use a keymap (see :help mbyte-keymap)? I use that (rather than strings of digraphs) when writing Russian, or mixed Cyrillic and Latin as in my Russian-French dictionary; and I have a different one for Arabic, where there even aren't any digraphs (both of them own-coded because the keybord layouts, if any, distributed with Vim for these scripts don't suit me). It works quite well.

For math, Dr. Charles "Chip" Campbell wrote a "math keymap and menu". The following links are from his Vim page, http://www.drchip.org/astronaut/vim/ :
Or if you prefer writing your own, here is a short HowTo page: https://vim.fandom.com/wiki/How_to_make_a_keymap
