If there is ever a task like this that you do a lot, I would recommend
looking into adding some custom definitions to the notebook's InputAliases
variable (search docs for InputAliases). It's quite easy to do, it's even
pretty simple to use the \[placeholder] character to predefine an oft used
complicated typesetting  form all ready to fill in with specific
characters.
