I want to rapidly write greek characters and symbols when writing tex and latex documents,
in ways similar to texmacs.  What can I do?

In texmacs there are the following keyboard shortcuts

"F6"  Bold
"TAB"  Greek Letters
"@*" Symbols (here circle with cross inside)

Apply the scientific method! I think even the ancient Greeks
did that ...

However only very, very advanced technology is incomparable to

I use `M-x insert-char' (bound to `C-x 8 <RET>') in this case.

But the packages with the (La)TeX support (f.i. AUCTeX) may provide
another tools.

But that doesn't work for the OP ...

I can't speak for TeXmacs, but generally when I want to write in a different language, I switch to the relevant input method using Quail[1] or (if not CJK) Robin[2]. You would specifically want to look at the Greek input methods[3].

Let me understand: are you a Greek-speaker, and you want to input Greek
text? Then you should look for input methods.
If, on the other hand, you need to insert some Greek symbols in math
only, then there are shortcut provided by the major modes. For example,
in AUCTeX, you have LaTeX mode math, where you have keybindings that
insert Greek character controls (such as \alpha, \beta ecc). Another
popular way is to use CDLaTeX mode, where you press '`', and have access
to a big number of commands (for instance, `a inserts \alpha, `. inserts
\cdot).

Does this answer you?

Alessandro
