Description

In some programming languages and some lines of work, I am used to typing a lot of unicode characters. In the Julia REPL, the workflow is:

\mu<TAB> => µ
\sigma<TAB> => σ
etc...

This might slow down an editor too much to constantly watch for signals, but would this be reasonable as a plugin?

For reference, an equivalent in Atom is developed here: https://github.com/JunoLab/atom-latex-completions

Research direction

No micro file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reviewing the Julia REPL examples and the linked Atom latex-completions implementation, then determine how a micro plugin could provide similar Unicode expansion; done means a defined plugin workflow and working shortcut completion.
