I am on a rehab hospital account. They always check the patient's strength. The doctor will say "4 plus to 5 out of 5" and it needs to be typed 4+/5 to 5/5. I need shortcuts for these. They are time consuming to type. I don't mind typing numbers but the plus and the dash slow me down. there are also 4-/5 strengths too. Any ideas?

I don`t use too many of those, but I use spp1= spines +1 and spm1 = spines -1 and variations thereon a lot. So how about 4pv5 for 4+/5 and 5v5 for 5/5, 4mv5 for 4-/5 (or you could use the o for over -- I`ve just gotten used to using `v` for over in a phrase -- there are so many prepositions that start with o that I use the second letter for them in phrases).

Thank you, that is actually quite helpful. I think I will do "rof" for 4/5, fof for 5/5, etc. Thanks
