You asked for an input method. _All_ Emacs input methods show possible combinations in the echo area. For that matter, any non-Emacs input method with complex combinations will pop up a small window with these possibilities. IOW, if you want an input method, you should be prepared to deal with these pop-ups. OTOH, if you use TeX a lot, you should be able to type the likes of \gamma without ever looking at the echo area.
