Would a mechanism associating a button or a shortcut to a command be OK ?
Works in math mode, which suggest another hack
- define math-macro tipa as \mbox{\tipaencoding{#1}}
- call when needed \tipa in math mode, fill-in the field.
Sole problem: mathed interprets the text as math text (cf a recent private
discussion with Jean-Marc), and M-m m before the #1 above does not seem to work.
What about an implementation of \newcommand as a text macro ?
