Description Tracey 2021-06-23 17:35:27 UTC
Description:
I want to be able to quickly enter: [Ā, ā, Ă, ă, Ē, ē, Ĕ, ĕ, Ī, ī, Ĭ, ĭ, Ō, ō, Ŏ, ŏ, Ū, ū, Ŭ, ŭ] when needed.
Current special character count is 16

Both Spanish and French accented letters and punctuation are available by using <alt>+<number pad>(nnn), but character numbers 256 thru 259, 274 thru 277, 298 thru 335, and 362 thru 365 do not seem to work.

Entering bi-lingual phonic vocabulary (like: cero [Spanish] and SĔ-rō [English transliteration] is slow.

Thanks, Tracey
If there is a way to enter characters from the special characters table using the <alt>+nnn I would like to know how.


Actual Results:
expand special character favorites count is 16

Yes this is needed, 16 favorites and 16 recents is not enough for some users.

Thanks for filing.
