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.
