OK, I see better what you propose.
But you are trading remembering a code (ie \lambda for λ) for
remembering which class the symbol you are looking for belongs to...
%chars displays all of them, on less than a screen (50 characters per
line x 20 lines make 1000 characters ;-). It is illustrated in the
provided help page.
And it is hierarchical. So remembering 2 to 10 trivial fields names is
enough (instead of 1000 codes), if you wish to display subsets.
Again, for some of them, it might be obvious (ie \lambda is easy, so
is %chars.greek for a Greek symbol) but for some others it's far from
obvious.
Like where would you put your \Diamond or \vdash?
I may not understand the question. Please see the documentation. Both
are already included in my current %chars illustrated in the doc.
I've used my share of LaTeX IDEs and all the symbols assistants failed
me in the same way: they give you easy and obvious access to symbols
you already know by heart (ie \alpha is in Greek, top first element)
but are a useless mess when looking for more obscure symbols (why is
\bigstar in Misc-Math, between \blacklozenge and \spadsuit ?)
+1. That's the point. This is why most often i display the whole %chars.
Just %chars. Without any codes.
