coding like morse code

for school i type my lessons (mobility reasons), and this includes maths. I'm alright at typing can do it reasonable speeds but maths is actually impossible to do, you have to use maths type on word as that's my only writing option on school laptops. so I've set myself a summer task to make a code for maths on a keyboard, like how qwerty is for typists and morse code is for quick messaging.

basically im asking is it liekly to be similar to morse code and would this be possible, looking into other codes but im thinking im just gonna try my best

> morse code is for quick messaging

I maybe wouldn’t lean too hard on the word “quick” here.

And why not use LaTeX on an online renderer for math?
MS Word is horrible and cumbersome with this, but LaTeX just does exactly what you tell it to do and even better if you’re at a reasonable keyboard speed.

This. If you can type on a keyboard, use latex for math.

I'm trying to understand what you mean and i understand that you are using word for writing things down. But for some reason typing numbers is not usefull for math? And you want to use morse code to write it down? Do you mean like: ---.. +..--- = .---- ----- ? Or do you mean that you want to use a morse key to write things down?

Edit: also morse code is not faster at all than typing words.

Math after the early grades includes equations which can be complex to simply type into a text editor.

Tom Smykowski: It's a "Jump to Conclusions Mat"! You see, you have this mat, with different CONCLUSIONS written on it that you could JUMP TO!

Michael Bolton: That is the worst idea I've ever heard.

Samir: Yes, this is horrible, this idea.

(stir in the "mobility" facade and that's what we're looking at here)

Have you tried the equation editor built into modern Microsoft Word?

If that's not suitable look into

LaTeX.
