I want to set up a part of my Mathematica package so that typing <-[space]<-Space is replaced with the left arrow character (← or \[LeftArrow]) just like it does with ->[space]->Space. Does anyone know how to do this? I looked briefly at event handling but didn't see anything immediately useful. I already know, of course, that [ESC]<-[ESC]Esc<-Esc will insert \[LeftArrow]←, and that doing so is not that much additional effort, but I'm more interested in the concept involved here. Any ideas?
