With all due respect, I fairly clearly indicated that I am aware of such things. I even typed a unicode character that for me is one keystroke: ‽. I've got that mapped to backspace, since I moved
that to Caps Lock (and just discarded Caps Lock).
But that's not the actual point. Learning a new language is a challenge. Learning a new language when you haven't already learned 10 is an even bigger challenge. Learning your first language is very difficult, which most of us have probably forgotten. Now, to the list of things you have to learn to do so, we want to add learning several dozen brand new keystrokes that nobody knows offhand? It may not seem like much compared to everything else one has to learn to program, but having to learn a lot of stuff is annoying; having to fight your input devices is like being rendered mute. Try switching your keyboard map for a few days to see how you like it. This is not a level of frustration worth pursuing.
