I sometimes use C-x 8 RET to enter characters using their Unicode names. = Since these names are usually very long I rely heavily on auto-completion to = reduce typing. So if I need to enter a MATHEMATICAL ITALIC SMALL TAU I start with just the word TAU and hit TAB to display possible = alternatives and quickly reach the desired name. What would be the preferred way to enter math symbols without fumbling = over such small oddities? Is there any possibility of adjusting the auto-completion = method so that it is not so picky about the difference between LAMDA and LAMBDA? Are = there other better approaches? (I think I am well aware of the LAMBDA vs. LAMDA detail now but what = about the huge crowd of Emacs users entering MATHEMATICAL ITALIC SMALL letters using C-x 8 = RET? ;) ) I would like to avoid using the TeX input method, because it does not = interact so nicely with programming (because of the special meaning quotes and the = underscore become). Best, Michael
