Details:

I don't know if this is possible already, but I was thinking that this might
be a faster and easier way to create chords in insert mode.  There would be a
command called Merge Into Chord which would take the two preceding notes or
chords and merge them together into a chord.  So here's how you could enter a
C Major chord, if you bind this new command to [enter]:
c e g [enter] [enter]

After the first enter press, you would have lilypond c <e g>, and after the
second you'd have <c e g>.  This eliminates the need to move the cursor around
and then press the key for inserting a note into a chord, which would have
been more keypresses.
Not too sure what should happen if the two preceding notes have different
durations or one is a rest.  Maybe just do nothing in that case or possibly
enter them as simulaneous music.
It would be nice too if there was a command to undo the merge in case you hit
it accidentally.
