Description Odd Nordland 2023-10-23 20:56:03 UTC
Description:
I am writing a text that uses both Norwegian and Icelandic letters. For the Icelandic letters, I use the convention of entering the Unicode number followed by Alt-X, e.g. Þ = 0DE Alt-X
It would be a great enhancement if it were possible to define that as a kind of macro and assign it to a key, e.g. "AltGr-T := 0DE Alt-X"

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In Writer, select assign value to a key
2. Enter the desired string
3. Choose the key to represent that string

Actual Results:
It only works for predefined macros, not for character strings.

Expected Results:
Not yet possible.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
It would be nice if the software asked if I want to make the assignment just for the current document, or generally for all documents.
