Enter Unicode mathematical symbols conveniently
I want to conveniently enter Unicode symbols such as greek letters μ, ξ, ... and mathematical symbols such as ∀, ∃, ...
Using the character map is not convenient.
I would prefer to enter something like delta and have it converted to δ by pressing TAB or any other key similar to many LaTeX editors.
The background is, that I want to use eclipse for editing Julia code. But being able to do this with the operating system is better than making eclipse do that.
Autokey-gtk seems to do what I want. But I cant get it to run. Crashes each time an event is triggered.

reputation from Yrogirg ending in 7 days.
This question has not received enough attention.
Need a system wide solution, that works in various text editors, IDE's and in terminal windows. The idea is to allow more readable physical/scientific notation in source codes.

It should be possible to replace the unicode number in/usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Composewith the latex command. (One day I'm going to try.)

Not sure, but I guess the events in that file are all like this one: <Multi_key> <U11BC> <U11A8>. So Composite key and exactly 2 other keys.

@Kalle With the Compose key, you press Compose, then other keys in sequence, not at the same time.
