A lot of discussion took place with My Brain Is Hard-Wired Against ==; Help Me, Julia , I thought I would post my response as one monolithic post. The Proposal Create a Unicode character alias for the relational operator == Possible Unicode Characters to use: I present to you three possibilities: …

1.7 beta: ⫪ (U+2AEA, \Top, \downvDash) and ⫫ (U+2AEB, \Bot, \upvDash, \indep) may now be used as binary operators with comparison precedence (#39403). The middle dot · (\cdotp U+00b7) and the Greek interpunct · (U+0387) are now treated as equivalent to the dot operator ⋅ (\cdot U+22c5) (#25157). T…

Aside from 2. (middle dot) and 3. (minus sign), all of these did not change anything about the core language and made those symbols available for user code to use as people see fit in their packages. If you take a look at the respective issues/PRs on github, you’ll notice that they’re either old (e…

You just write \Equ[TAB] Try it in the REPL Or \ie[TAB] if a new shortcut is created

at the moment you need to press: \<Shift>Equa<tab>, that’s 7 vs. == 2. IDK, seems not worth it bruh

Well, for me (german keyboard) it’s (<Right-ALT> + ß) + (<SHIFT> + e) + q + u + a + <TAB>/l + <TAB> for ⩵ vs. (<SHIFT> + 0) for =, so 9 vs. 2 keystrokes (or 9 vs. 3 for the double version, keeping SHIFT pressed for the second =) :man_shrugging: That’s part of the problem with using unicode characte…

It sounds to me like what you actually need is just some better visual hints as to what character you are using. Perhaps a font with ligatures, though some of these de-emphasize rather than emphasize the difference between = and ==. But I think the best solution would be to customize your syntax hi…
