The abbrev minor mode is active in all my buffers and it doesn't have
to be triggered by a specific key, it's automatically substituted as I
type. I plan on having a lot of easy-to-remember abbreviations for
unicode chars I regularly use, all prefixed by $ or some other less
used character so that it only triggers when I want. Calling
insert-char is too cumbersome and breaks the flow.
The only thing that doesn't work is this word extraction regex...

That is not what I want.
