More Details:
For most fonts these Unicode glyphs for super and sub scripts are actually the numerators and denominators for diagonal fractions and so they may not look exactly the same as the equivalent markup.
There are super and sub scripts for all numerical digits. However, there are some super and sub Latin letters that have not yet been encoded by the Consortium, particularly for subscripts. In those cases a message will be displayed on the screen and the original typed character will appear instead.
Once installed, click on the SuperSub Extension Icon (top right corner of Chrome) to see the list of characters that have already been encoded and the required key to type. I will of course update this list as soon as we get more super and sub glyphs encoded by the Consortium.
For the science and math symbols, I chose those that are, from my experience, the most commonly used in high school science and math and I tried to match the Greek letters to the closest corresponding Latin equivalents whenever I could.
For the overhead vector symbol, the vector symbol needs to be typed first and then the letter for the base. Placing a space before the overhead vector symbol may be necessary in some cases.
For accents above the letter:
1. the letter needs to typed first,
2. then press the ` key (usually found at the top left corner of QWERTY keyboards),
3. and then press the key corresponding to the accent that you want.
Here are the keys for some of the most common accents:
`1 for acute
`2 for grave
`3 for circumflex
`4 for macron
`5 for tilde
`6 for breve
`7 for hacek
`8 for diaeresis or umlaut
`9 for dot above
`0 for ring above
There are other keys that will also trigger these accents. Click on the SuperSub Extension Icon for the full list of accents and some other international symbols.
In situations where you want ^ or _ or \ or ` to appear in the text just press the key twice.

Reviews of supersub:
Unironically just super helpful, I'm a highschool chem teacher and I just really needed to be able to write super and subscript easily on a some google forms while on my work laptop and this made it so easy to do. Just read the instructions and you should be fine
Most of the people giveing 5 star reviews seem to be bots but as stated in the dev's reply to "Todd Howard says buy skyrim" (interesting name btw), they appear to be jokes played by people who know him irl. I only downloaded this to get a single character for a science test but it is staying with me unless it somehow betrays me.
Dr. Park once again surpasses the limits of human ingenuity to deliver this absolute unit of a chrome extension. This extension inspired me to get twenty PhD's and end racism. 10/10 would do again.
