MathType Tip: Adding memorable keyboard shortcuts for your most commonly-used symbols and actions

As a mathematician, you often use the operator symbols "much less than" and "much greater than" in MathType, and you wish there were a shortcut key for these symbols so you wouldn't have to choose them from the palette each time.

MathType has built-in keyboard shortcuts for most symbols, templates, and menu items. It also allows you to create shortcuts where none exists, and to change or delete the built-in shortcuts. This tip will show you how.
