not to spoil the fun, but this is a lot better ;) you don't even have to remember all those pesky names http://detexify.kirelabs.org/classify.html

I've been using "detexify" since grad school which was a decade ago or so.

It's by far the best tool for LaTeX I've ever used. You just have to draw the symbol and it uses pattern recognition algorithms to suggest the closest LaTeX keyword.

Yep, I've used it. It's amazing! I'm also adding a link to it on my page, so people can find symbols they don't yet know how to describe with text

I felt that 'type and hit enter to copy' would be faster for my workflow, which is why I built this :D
