Enhanced number system for Plover

This dictionary should be fully compatible with the default number system, but adds a number of enhancements.

Compared to the standard number handling:

  • EU, E (for Multisteno) or U (for Uni) reverses any stroke, and works with any number of digits
    • 130EU79 produces "97031"
  • DZ will convert a number to hundreds of dollars, and works with multiple strokes
    • 1DZ produces "$100"
    • 1/2DZ produces "$1,200"
  • Z will suffix "00"
    • 2Z produces "200"
    • 2/3Z produces "2300"
    • 23Z produces "2300"
  • * will add a decimal point after
    • 12*/34 produces "12.34"
  • *S will add a comma after
    • 12*S/340*/50 produces "12,340.50"
  • *Z will add the suffix ',000'
    • 12*Z or 12/*Z produces "12,000"
    • 12*Z/*Z produces "12,000,000"
  • D will always double the last digit
    • 1D produces "11"
    • 12D produces "122"
    • 123EUD produces "3211"
  • R converts a number to roman numerals. * for lower case.
    • 12R produces "XII"
    • 19/29EUR produces "MCMXCII" (1992 in roman numerals)
    • This will only work for numbers between 1 and 3999 inclusive.
  • KWR- and -RBG are used to type years in a single stroke
    • KWR- will add 1900 to the value, while -RBG will add 2000 to it.
    • 24-RBG produces "2024"
    • KWR0EU8 produces "1980"
  • WR- or -RB will format the entire number as a dollar value.
    • 23WR or 23-RB produces "$23"
    • 1/12RB produces "$112"
    • 1234RB produces "$1,234"
    • 1234*RB produces "$1,234.00"
    • 1234*/50RB produces "$1,234.50"
  • KR- or -RG will suffix the entire number with a percent symbol
    • 23KR or 23-RG produces "23%"
    • 1/12KR produces "112%"
    • 1KRZ produces "100%"
  • W or B will add ordinal suffixes:
    • 1B produces "1st"
    • 1BD or 1/1B produces "11th"
    • 2/1B produces "21st"
  • Clock timings are supported
    • K- or -BG will add the suffix ":00"
    • Using K combined with B and/or G give 15 minute increments:
      • 12KG produces "12:15"
      • 12KB produces "12:30"
      • 12KBG produces "12:45"
    • Adding -S or *S will suffix 'a.m.' or 'p.m.'
  • G will convert the number to words
    • 12G produces "twelve"
    • 2*GZ produces "two thousand"
    • 12*Z/*GZ produces "twelve million"
    • Note that -S suffix with Plover's orthography rules will work as expected:
      • 30GS produces "thirties"
    • Can be combined with W- to give ordinal words:
      • 12WEUG: produces "twenty-first".
      • 1W0GS: produces "tenths".
      • This can also be done as a suffix stroke:
      • 1Z/#W-G: produces "one hundredth".
