Workaround (Tim please correct me if I am wrong): 1. In Font Info > Font, add a Prefix with the substitutions as separated lookups: lookup DOLLAR { sub dollar by dollar.micr; } DOLLAR; lookup YIREPLACE { sub yi-cy yi-cy by yi_yi-cy; } YIREPLACE; That way, the substitutions are visible to KernOn, I a...

Re: Does KO need a keyboard shortcut?

It works better for some, and worse for others. Appears to interfere with system-wide settings. For the life of me, I cannot set shortcuts for certain scripts. We have not been able to track the issue.

Does KO need a keyboard shortcut?

Ctrl-K is something use daily for ‘killing’ the rest of the line. In combination with Ctrl-Y (‘yanking’), you have second clipboard, kind of.
