As well, i must confess that having a ALT+X or any other keys shortcut

to me, because i do not remember unicodes of any non-ascii characters.
Who does? Such a ALT-X shortcut is used for instance in the -- yet
great -- /Inskscape/ free drawing software. Then, each time that a
greek letter or another symbol must be used, we need to find its
unicodes in an extra document (most often on internet). It's
definitely not handy.
I agree with you here.
It is not a good idea to use such a shortcut that replicates what is
already present at the OS level: on linux for example Crtl+Alt+Maj+u
allows to type the unicode of a character (like 3BB for λ). Equivalent
shortcuts exist under Windows and MacOS.
From my personal experience, my preferred implementation is the one
used by Julia: type the LaTeX macro (like \lambda for λ) then Tab and
you get the unicode character.
I assume implementation something like that in Scilab is quite a lot of
work...
Your proposition might be a good compromise between ease of
implementation and usefulness.
Cheers,
Antoine
