It's easy to assign any command or keystrokes to, say, function keys or
Alt-Key combinations. You only need the \ss, \"{a}, etc., which is not so
many to deal with. I would probably set it up within ERT, but you can also
find the appropriate text-based codes.

Alt-s is helpful, but I can't find the others.
ERT is not only Evil, it also takes 4-5 Keystrokes for the price of
one :-)-O
Any ideas, perhaps for assignments to key combinations?
