Julia has made symbol input manageable and lets you define infix operators for many of the Unicode symbols that make sense for that. [1] And JuliaMono was designed to support the symbols that Julia does. [2] I generally do quite fine with my Compose Key configuration, though (even on Windows, where I use WinCompose).

Or if you're on Linux or using WinCompose, you can hit Compose + s + o. Source: about 1 year ago

I really like using the idea of the compose key (although I do use digraphs, as mentioned here, once in a while). A compose key will work outside of Vim, as well. On Gnome, you can use Gnome Tweaks. Other DEs will also support this (internet search!). If you are using a plain window manager on Xorg, then read this. If you are on Windows, install Wincompose. MacOS? Who knows! All work the same way. My compose key... Source: about 1 year ago

I have AltGr mapped to WinCompose so it sees some use. Source: about 1 year ago

Seems like in modern times, on modern systems, we can move beyond monospaced fonts for code. I have recommended this many times here, but I use a proportional coding font: Input Sans https://input.djr.com. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

Yes I ran into problem with distinguishing between ; and : as well on this monospace font. I'll say it was fun to try it and I used it for awhile but it isnt suitable for coding purposes. Im much more happy now with a highly customizable font like Input[0] where I can make it as wide or as narrow as I like it to be and also customize the various characters [0]: https://input.djr.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

Does your browser have a "Reader" mode? There are font systems that target code and aren't monospace. An example is Input: https://input.djr.com/ - https://input.djr.com/preview/ The niche seems to be people who like to code without monospace, or who present code without monospace, e.g. In slides or in blog posts. Or if you want typographical consistency between non-code and code, as I understand you are suggesting. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

I’ve used Ligaturizer [2] to update the font to include ligatures. I believe the ligatures are even taken from FiraCode itself. I wonder how it’s fitting it to the width of a character as it’s much narrower, but still monospaced. - [1] https://input.djr.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

Hi! I’ve returned once more to recommend the Input family of typefaces. https://input.djr.com/ I’ve been code using Input Sans a (gasp!) proportional coding font for years now and I love it. Input also comes in a monospaced version FWIW. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
