I think he ment the key strokes not the ASCII that comes out.
But if it's for fast typing only, what do you think about
a key mapping like this:

the keybord (e.g. german)

Q--W--E--R--T--Z--U--I--O--P
--A--S--D--F--G--H--J--K--L-
----Y--X--C--V--B--N--M--;--

means:

B#-C#-D#-E#-F#-G#-A#-B#-c#-d#
--C--D--E--F--G--A--B--c--d--
----Db-Eb-Fb-Gb-Ab-Bb-cb-db--

and produces in ABC:

^B ^C ... ^d
C D ... d
_D _E ... _d

You could use shift- or hold-shift to switch to an other octave.
Then the tool should choose upcase and lowcase and add the ' or ,
automatically.
Or you could define to start with an other note.
A shortcut would be good to switch into this mode and back.
