Ctrl-Shift-J

Does anyone know what this feature is for? I had someone stumble across it by mistake. She defined a "variable" to be one "M/ϕ" and the display actually showed M directly over the ϕ. The whole thing shows up inside of square brackets. She proceeded to assign a value to this expression, and it can be used later on as if it were a variable (as long as the square brackets are also used). Is this the intent of the feature?

A quote from "Mathcad Help" (see more in attachment):

"[Ctrl] [Shift] J Type characters inside brackets as in chemistry notation.

[Ctrl] [Shift] K Type characters that usually insert operators."

It's a documented feature "chemistry notation".

Search 'ctrl][shift]J' in the Mathcad help menu to find more info.

I wasn't able to find it in the (PDF) manual.
