    Of course this is almost intolerable if you use these much.
    A much better approach is digraphs.
    In Vim type
    :h digraphs-use
    and after that check out
    :digraphs
    to see a *very* well thought out approach to digraphs.

    Please consider this a feature request.

    Thanks,
