It depends on how it's implemented, but yes, it sounds interesting.
A really neat feature in LyX (a LaTeX front-end) is that you have "sequential
keyboard shortcuts," in the sense that a first keyboard shortcut enables some
"mode" and the second one does an action. In the case of Greek characters, in
LyX you first press Alt-M to enter "math mode," then G to enter "Greek mode"
and then a character (a for alpha, b for beta, etc.). I think that that kind of
"sequential shortcuts" are not possible in LibreOffice, but a simplified
version of them, or something else, could be really useful. This may even open
a road for more options.
Thanks for your interest!</pre>
