  1. Why doe you call the former more "concise"?
  2. If you look at FullForm@D[f[x, y], x] you will find it is Derivative[1,0][f][x,y], which you can enter directly. I suspect you will call this "less concise".
  3. You can enter Grad symbolically, which gets close to what you want (but as a list).
  4. You can enter D symbolically, which is very concise and as close as possible to what you want, I think: "By using the character ∂, entered as [esc]pd[esc] or \[PartialD], with subscripts".
