Take a look at

where I recently talked about entering complex notation through buttons or aliases. For instance, 
you could try something like

SetOptions[InputNotebook[],
  InputAliases->
    Append[Options[InputNotebook[],InputAliases][[1,2]],
      
".":> (yourBoxExpressionHere)

]]

You can also put the expression

".":> (yourBoxExpressionHere)

on a stylesheet or define it globally (use $FrontEnd instead of InputNotebook[] above). Another solution is to alter the file MenuSetup.tr.
