An important part missing in this is to add symbols to your keyboard layout. Instead of typing \alpha, just type α. To type \cap, write ∩. I used a StackOverflow answer [1] to build a key layout [2] for my Spanish mac keyboard, but this should be easily replicated for other systems and languages 1: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/110042/entering-unicode-math-symbols-into-latex-direct-from-keyboard-on-a-mac#110043 https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/110042/entering-unic... 2: https://github.com/gjulianm/MathUnicode https://github.com/gjulianm/MathUnicode

For Linux users, see this Unix.SE post for adding new symbols to a keyboard layout: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/674997/new-keyboard-layout-variant-not-detected-after-reboot https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/674997/new-keyboard... Note that is my own self-answered question and answer, after having difficulty. For completeness' sake all steps involved in adding new symbols to the keyboard - desktop agnostic - are included in that question.
