I want to replace the keyboard shortcut for
⌥Option + d = ∂
with
⌥Option + d = ð
How can I do that?

Create a plain text file with this in it (in TextEdit, use Format > Make Plain Text
):
{
"~d" = ("insertText:", "ð");
}
Call it DefaultKeyBinding.dict
(make sure to uncheck “When no extension is provided, use .txt”), and save it in ~/Library/KeyBindings/
. (You can press Command ⌘+Shift ⇧+G and paste that path.)
The "~d"
means Option-D, and the ("insertText:", "ð")
means it will insert a ð character instead of ∂.
You will have to restart your applications in order for this setting to take effect.
Another solution is to create a custom keyboard layout. I can easily type symbols like →
, ←
, 💩
, and ♥
with my custom layout.
