Hi. I've been using the US-intl keyboard layout for a while, as ABTN2 (the standard Brazilian Portuguese) layout treats ' and " as dead keys, which makes programming incredibly annoying for me. However, US-intl makes accented letters like ã, à and â annoying to type, requiring holding Alt as you press the respective keys. As a solution, I decided to make a small fork of US-intl that changes ~, ` and ^ to dead keys, while leaving ' and " as non-dead keys (as you can easily type á with Alt+a). It's nothing major or substantial, but I thought I'd share it in case some other brazilian /…

Type Switch▲132Hi Ycombinator community, I’d like to share a project I recently launched: Type Switch, a macOS app designed to make language switching seamless and intuitive for multilingual users.

I’m building a Unicode reference where each symbol has its own dev-friendly page with all relevant encodings. Example: [https://fontgenerator.design/symbol/almost-equal-to](https://fontgenerator.design/symbol/almost-equal-to) Includes Unicode, HTML, CSS, JS, UTF-8/16 bytes, URL encoding, and usage examples. The same structure is used across thousands of symbols (math, arrows, currency, tech/UI, punctuation). Built because existing references are fragmented. Feedback welcome.
