Not much faster if you only need a few symbols, and if you only work in one document. I used to make such tables for large documents before I created Mathpad. Mathpad's killer feature is working anywhere you can type text, not only doc

Thank you for the kind words. I did orginally consider using a programmable stream deck, but quickly realized that it would not be sufficient. My requirements were: 1) Over 100 symbols immediately accessible 2) Single-hand use 3) Small size

It is not clear to me what the purpose of this repo is. Perhaps as a starter, add the non-abbreviated version of MCP.
