Clickable predefined latex symbols in latex editor #5011

For people not familiar with latex, such as team assistants in universities, it is helpful to be able to have clickable latex symbols to be included in a latex file, such as:

WinEdt

Several team assistants here in Bochum started editing latex files at https://cocalc.rub.de. This works extremely well and effective and one of my colleagues asked whether CoCalc could provide such graphical tables.

this is on my radar. recently I added a side panel to the terminal, as a simple start to help new users, and next I transformed the snippets dialog in jupyter to a similar side panel as well. LaTeX is my next goal. The tricky part is actually how to present this and how to get all the data for the symbols and environments.
