Sure, that's another possibility. A drawback of that approach, as far as
I can see, is that those substitutions are applied globally across the
system.
Btw, Vim has a similar feature, called `iabbrev`: the advantage is that
replacements are editor-specific and the method is cross-platform
(because Vim is). Vim also offers support for inputting “digraphs” and
for defining your own. Even better, for the use case at hand, is that
you may also define your own keymap, e.g.:
https://github.com/bpj/bpj-vim-keymaps/blob/master/keymap/bxs.vim
I guess that other editors (e.g., Emacs) may offer similar
functionality.
Anyway, for me the IPA keyboard layout is what has worked best.
