Probably this can be customized. But then how to keep track of the
available possibilities?

-- In any case: Thanks! I just started myself thinking about the
question what I might find useful here. I'd like to have something
that interrupts my flow of typing as little as possible, while at
the same time it's not easy to keep track of the plethora of symbols
that are available so that some kind of guidance comes handy. An
"acceptable" solution for these contradicting requirements is
certainly a matter of taste.

To begin with, I now have some approaches to play with.
