A simple Alfred extension for finding special characters and learn the corresponding keyboard shortcuts.

You can simply use cmd+ctrl+space to pop open the macs special char and emoji window. No need to install this extension anymore.

To use Alfred 2 extensions you need the Alfred powerpack. Download the workflow, that's how Alfred extensions are called, here.
Double click the file. This will open Alfred and import the workflow.

To see a list of all characters simply type char followed by a blank. Searching for a character works as expected by typing char {query}.
The query can be the name or type of the character. For example math or greek delta.

Select a result item by pressing enter, to copy the character to the clipboard.
