faster way to type lambda symbol

Question

sounds a bit silly and petty to ask, and ironically I am sure that by typing out this SO question I have actually lost more time than I could potentially gain :)

but something I was just wondering if other visual studio guys have solved this scenario

when writing out a lot of lambda function (especially when doing a fluent config) it just feels very inefficient to type out a lambda, the equals character is on the top number row of the keyboard, and the greater than sign is all he way on the down by the spacebar, and it requires using the shift at the seem time.

just feels cumbersome,

just wondering if someone knows how to build a macro or shortcut. I would much rather double tap a key or something like that. it would allow for much faster typing

(note: i am using both VS 2010 and 2012)

Answer 1

There are a couple of options A. Can use autohotey to send a key when you press another 'hot key' or registry remap

http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/misc/Remap.htm This is a one to one re map

B. use auto hot key to send the key when you press Windows + Other Key like M to send the key you want http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/Hotstrings.htm

C. write a low level keyboard hook ( I know it is possible but do not know c nor have the device driver kit to try)
