It's probably just me, but with the so many foreign characters I use,
remembering all the many key mappings becomes more than my little brain
can manage. So I prefer to create a menu of character entities.
html-helper-mode (i.e., not html-mode) already has such a menu which
I've added to using "(mapchar 'html-helper-add-tag ...". This menu
allows me to look up a 'character' which I can't remember *and* gives me
a reminder of what its key combo is. My (too old) version of emacs,
however, doesn't have a "character entities" menu for regular (non-html)
buffers. I've already got too much on my plate for the moment, so this
isn't a project for me right now. But later....
