Hello
There seems to be a port of Autohotkey that may allow you to tweak your
keyboard to achieve this. See e.g.

Subject: [XeTeX] Malayalam typesetting using XeLaTeX assigning a key to
acharacter
Dear All,
How can a key be assigned to a character? On my Mac (Mountain Lion 10.5.8) I
am
using a keyboard layout called KeyMagic to type in Malayalam. I got in touch
the
person who created the Rachana font for Malayalam. Almost all the characters
of
the alphabet have been coded excellently. Just one character which is
inserted
where the vocal "a" is omitted needs to be assigned a key
The character is ഽ and it has the coding U+0D3D
Can this be done in LaTeX? Any way to do this so that I can type the desired
character to get ഽ .
As an example
typing -------> gives
Ta -------------> ട
pa -------------> പ
(I can copy and paste the character but that produces a place holder (dotted
circle) which does not look nice)
BR
suren
