This tool is designed for interactive use (with an audience).
It offers a split-pane view where you can see what you are typing and the displayed version at the same time. That is an improvement for working with an audience.
At first I thought there was no local save. The `,help` docs are quick - use `,save`.
Perhaps someone can propose a substitute, but just saying "it's like a Visual Studio Code extension" does not seem accurate.
I tried it a bit, the ergonomics are not bad. I certainly did not have the experience of the other posters saying that most of the time was spent in some error mode "waiting for the subscript to complete". The ability to define your own "comma macros" would be cool.
Thank you for taking a close look at this tool and writing this detailed review. The current collection of comma macros is based on what I frequently need. The ability to define our own "comma macros" sounds very interesting. I will consider it if and when I get time to implement it.
