Contyper (CT) is a program that makes it really easy for conlangers to type any characters you might want. It is my attempt at fixing one of my biggest issues while conlanging: Special characters.
I always found it so annoying to copy and paste any character you might want from google. Whether or not it was a simple combining character or perhaps a left-facing arrow, opening up my google doc with all of my special characters or reffering to my charts to copy and paste always felt so clunky to me.
The main design principles of contyper are as follows:
- Contyper should not intefere with normal keyboard functions. You should be able to forget about Contyper until you need it again.
- Contyper should be fully customizable. All features should be optional and be toggleable. On top of that, any configuration file/ruleset should be easily written and easily read.
- Contyper should be easy to use. All aspects of the program should be obvious and/or be documented to someone who hasn't used the program before.
- Contyper should provide tools for as many use cases as possible.
Contributions are more than welcome.
I hope that eventually this program can become an amazing tool for many people. However I can only develop this program for my needs, and guess what others could get out of the program. Contributing to this project is the best way to make sure that as many people as possible can use this program.
If there is a bug I haven't found during testing, if there's a feature that I haven't thought of please submit something to the Issue Tracker. Thank you.
