How can I type and get \dagger in math mode?

#1

When I tried to type \dagger (it’s very common in quantum mechanics and quantum field theory) in math mode, I just find that the tag doesn’t work. Then I search the toolbar and the menu(Insert->Symbol) and I believe I can’t find this symbol in both places. When I google it, https://www.researchgate.net/publication/296637736_The_Comprehensive_TeXmacs_Symbol_List says \dagger should be fine… It’s confusing.

In order to use \dagger, now I have to: 1. type ^ to create a superscript 2. use \text command 3. copy † as a text…, which is ugly and inconvenient. Besides, the formulae inputted in this way cannot be copied to another place. This is rather annoying.

So, do anybody know how I should insert \dagger in math mode properly?
p.s. TeXmacs version:1.99.11

Hi,
In math mode just type + and use the tab key twice (+ tab tab)

I works! Thank you.

Now I can open the document in text editor, and find the right tag for dagger should be \dag .
