I would like see the recent and/or favorite character selection expanded for English/French/Spanish accented characters.
(20 + 20) or (20 + 32)...
... Or, maybe better yet, add a customize-able/User character table as tab option to the right side-bar:
User select-able tab (where I see style options, navigator, etc.).

It appears the <alt>+number-pad functionality is being phased out.
When I try to use the <alt>+number pad to enter accented characters, the right side-bar pops out (LibreOffice v7.6.4).

It takes too long to scan thru a big character table.

Plus English accented characters are not accessible from the <alt>+number-pad

Thanks, Tracey
See attached.

This is not a way to report.

One issue by report, please.

About Alt+number please take a look on:

The MS Windows <Alt>+Numpad entry for character codes (OEM, Windows and Unicode SMB as decimal values) have been restored (and now enhanced, full Unicode SMB in decimal) for the 24.2 release. See also bug 158112

While LibreOffice's Alt+X toggle of Unicode as Hex value entry has provided this for cross platform use for some time.

The rework/enhancement of the Favorites/Recents character bars, extending beyond the current 16 glyphs is open as bug 120753

Setting dupe of that.
