Alt-key assignments are useful for much more than typing special characters. 
They 
can replace other shortcuts freeing the control key for typing accented 
characters, 
which is the easiest key combination to use, as it exists on both sides of the 
keyboard. Typing codepoints into a dialogue requires more keystrokes and one 
needs 
to remember the numbers. This is a very inefficient way to type foreign 
characters.

In Opera I can type āīūḍḷṃṇṭ very easily with the control key. If I need to use 
Alt 
for typing or other functions I can — no problem — alt m = m-dash, since 
control m 
is already used to type ṃ (m dot below). 

For a word-processor, the current limit of control and control shift is too 
limited.
