Ideally universally. But I am using it mostly in email, zim (personal
wiki type app), vim and CLI
(ok, in vim I can use the digraphs but an unified interface would be ideal)

For a while I looked at autohotkey but is not as straightforward as I
thought (even if I still think is the best shot).

Ah yes thanls for the suggestion :) ... I'm already familiar with vi so
I may stick with it in the mean time
