The stuff was pasted from the manual. I have a HTML Glyphs bundle [1]  
which have snippets containing the entity of each of the various  
Apple function keys and modifiers, with a tab trigger bearing the  
name of the symbol.

So for the manual, these were written as the entity version. It would  
however be possible, after inserting the entities in TM to press cmd- 
& and select “Decode Entities in Line”, that would convert them to  
the actual characters (useful for pasting, but beware of the screwed  
up spacing).

Seems you just need to learn blind-typing :)

Yes, Apple’s interface is cumbersome. But it does allow a per-app  
setting, which the other can’t do.
