Well, this would be doable by using two scripts. But first I have some humble questions.
Scripts sound great. This would work like a hook on opening and saving .tex files? One may earn extra points by telling me how to reuse my .plist dictionary of replacement pairs...
What kind of typesetting engine do you are using? E.g. I can type '≤' and I'll get '≤' without any conversion.
I use pdflatex. I've never tried to typeset "≤" directly, I must admit. However, I remember that I used to run into problems with other characters (as simple as umlauts), especially when collaborating on documents with Windows users. So basically I want to keep my code clean of anything 8-bit ;)
Do you want to typeset larger Greek texts or 'only' Greek letters in mathematical equations?
That'd be only equations etc.
How do yo input these Greek letters? Do you switch to a Greek keyboard?
I've built a specific LaTeX keyboard (see http://www.lessjunkmorefunk.de/de/latex-keyboard for screenshots + actual keyboard files). That also gives me the benefit of accessible {}/[] characters (which are a bit hidden on the standard German layout and likely cause CTS) without making the Umlauts (äöüß) too hard to reach.
If I understood you correctly, your point is that you want to see e.g. α = β + γ instead of \alpha = \beta + \gamma
Yep, exactly. With a bit of ∑_{i=17}^∞x_i≥η→ℝ=ℕ love this becomes irresistable (to me) ;)
