On Windows, I can't live without AutoHotkey anymore.
With it, i defined several custom shortcuts, using the Caps lock key as a pseudo-modifier :
Caps lock
to insert special characters or strings: Caps lock + X inserts ☒ Caps lock + C inserts ☐ Caps lock + V inserts ☑ Caps lock + Y inserts ¯\(ツ)/¯
X
C
V
Y
to insert uppercase accented characters (I'm french) Caps lock + é inserts É Caps lock + è inserts È Caps lock + ç inserts Ç Caps lock + à inserts À
é
è
ç
à
instant google search of selected text with the ² key (top-left key, before numbers on a french layout)
²
Caps lock + D inserts the current date : 2018-11-15
D
Caps lock + T inserts the current time : 13:15:20
T
Caps lock + Tab switches the mouse cursor to the next monitor
Tab
...and some other custom shortcuts.
It's a really powerful tool!
