# LaTeX Gboard Dictionary

Gboard Dictionary for easily typing unicode symbols with shortcuts based on LaTeX.

Shortcuts for Gboard are supported on all Android devices. As of now, these shortcuts cannot be imported to iOS devices.

## Usage

It's as simple as typing `\sum`, `\R`, etc. on the keyboard and tapping the suggested symbol!

See [`dictionary.txt`](https://github.com/DenverCoder1/latex-gboard-dictionary/blob/master/dictionary.txt) for a full list of supported symbols.
