Yes. If your version does the same as mine, not sure why you would complicate it like that. What expansion of options would your higher key stroke approach give you?

The point would mainly be to allow copy/paste from web pages, in order to preserve formatting like tables, different fonts, different colors, etc., just like you can do now with gmail messages. Yes, you could also manually create and enter raw html like I did with my <sup> example, but that wouldn't be the primary use.
