You might be interested in the 'Unicycle.vim' plugin by Jason Diamond.
You could modify it to do pretty much what you need without having to
reach for a hot key and end up with something that works pretty much
along the lines of the T9 mode of your cell phone. Take it from someone
who has next to no Vimscript skills, I once customized this plugin to
add stuff like fancy arrows, bullets, etc. to the original, and it
shouldn't take you more than a couple of hours.
Otherwise, what with Vim's lists and dictionaries, writing a function
that overwrites the character before the cursor by the next character in
a given sequence shouldn't be too hard.
In the long run, probably less of a headache than trying to adapt
someone else's code to Vim.
