UniNavi
Unicode Navigator for Some C IDEs
What is this?
A set of navigators for tiny subsets of Unicode by exploiting C language structure and modern IDE features. Actually, these navigators are just fake objects which do not exist.
Why does this exist?
Because I'm too lazy to take a hand off the keyboard and on the mouse to copy a special character from somewhere out of the editor.
How is this supposed to use?
#define a shortcut identifier you want to use for a Unicode subset sheet. Navigate through the fake object and take your auto-completed character. After use, make sure the fake object is not left at all or it will make your build fail as intended. See also the above demo.gif # and uninavi.h #.
Is this portable?
No, although the C standard (ยง D.1) allows some universal characters for identifiers, some IDEs would fail to construct valid ASTs. Because Unicode is hard.
How much is this done?
Very little, and currently I have no clear plan to extend unless requested. See the below list.
