I use autokey not as a hotkey but as text expansion. If I type "..c" then this is expanded into "{}" with the cursor inside the braces. And to surround text with "{}" I use ",,c", hence "whatever,,c" becomes "{whatever}". I have similar text expansion for other symbols that require AltGr, square braces are ..s and ,,s for instance. On Windows Autohotkey can do the same, just the scripting language is different. The Autokey text for curly braces is simply "{}<left>" and for surrounding with curly braces the script is:
import time
keyboard.send_keys("<shift>+<ctrl>+<left>")
time.sleep(0.25)
sample = clipboard.get_selection()
keyboard.send_key("<delete>")
keyboard.send_keys("{%s}" % sample)
Maybe it helps you.
You're taking an experimental prophylactic against a disease with a 99.9% survival rate. Probably higher if you're under 50. And we still don't really know how safe it is, because the 'gold standard' data (double blind testing) is absent, save for 2 months' of Pfizer data. Your benefit has apparently outweighed your cost. Fine. Mine hasn't. I like to read any and all opinions, regardless of 'bias'. We all have biases, whether we realise or not. I'm intelligent enough to figure them out. I don't need 'we' getting 'an idea' of 'the bias'. I'll probably get flagged/banned/cancelled for my opinion, but such is life.
Whenever I go camping I always take a small moka pot with me. If you use good quality coffee then it never fails to deliver a very decent cup. It's not going to be equal to a coffee shop espresso, but it gets you 80% there. And you may be able to pick one up for 20 bucks. The only part that needs replacing every now and then is the rubber ring that seals the pot when you screw it together. Other than that they're virtually indestructible. At home I have the large De'Longhi, but if that can't be used there is always a moka pot on standby.
