A raycast extension for the greek alphabet

This is a very simple solution to a very simple problem. It isn't a very interesting project but it's quite useful.

The problem is simply that I have to write physics formulas relatively often and that these require letters from the greek alphabet that represent physical quantities. I used to search the character online to find it in text form, I'd try selecting only the character and I would copy it for my use. This was very slow and it created a frustrating break in the middle of writing.

The solution I found is very simple: it's a raycast extension that just lets me search for the character and copy it automatically.
