it would be nice to have 2 rows filled with the latest used special characters.
Indeed that would be a nice feature. A nice starting point in the code is: http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/s?refs=SvxCharacterMap
[This is an automated message.] This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases. Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugHunting_Session_3.5.0.-1 more detail on this bulk operation: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/RFC-Operation-Spamzilla-tp3607474p3607474.html
An EasyHack should have been checked by developers and thus is confirmed regardless of age. Moving back to NEW from NEEDINFO again. Sorry for the hassle.
Deleted "Easyhack" from summary.
adding LibreOffice developer list as CC to unresolved EasyHacks for better visibility. see e.g. http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/minutes-of-ESC-call-td4076214.html for details

A believe a special character split/group button would be the better approach, as it is used in other word processors. MS Word - http://i.imgur.com/GiyojNv.png WPS Writer - http://i.imgur.com/05A02N9.png Wordperfect - http://i.imgur.com/gsxv8a3.png

A design session happened last friday about this and details can be found at the following google doc. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PxkIpkzgWF1cX9oQmBhjiTBhUXvUEqbz06Bn4hzbF54/edit?usp=sharing It has also been published on user-prompt for users to comment. http://user-prompt.com/libreoffice-design-session-special-character/
I'm starting to work on this. It's the first time I've worked on the LibreOffice code, so I don't know how far I'll get, but I'll post updates on how it's going.
Created attachment 117051 [details] Patch for hex and decimal code search Here's a patch for what I've done so far. I have the hex and decimal code search functionality working. Is there a recommended behavior for how to handle codes for characters that are not available? Currently, I am just ignoring them, but I think there must be a better way so that the user knows what the problem is.
I think it's better you submit your patch this way: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/gerrit/SubmitPatch
@Steve: I've pushed your patch into gerrit, though it didnt compile correctly due to new changes in the code. https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/19935
@Yousuf: I will try to take a look at it, but probably won't have a chance until mid- to late-December. There was still more work that I was going to do on this, but haven't had time in a while. If there is anyone who would like to work on this in the meantime, feel free to assign it to yourself. Also, my license statement is at http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2015-August/069681.html

Steve@ A polite ping, are you still working on this ?
I think this one has been done, it just needs someone to test it to ensure it's correct.
OK, moving it to QA for testing.
This hasnt been fully completed, as Steve only did one aspect of the redesign of the symbol dialog. See comment 11 and link below. https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/GSoC/Ideas#Special_characters_dialog It would be good to push Adolfo's comment 19 patch into 5.1.
Yousuf is right about the current patch only partially implementing the requested features. I have unassigned myself to the bug, since I am no longer working on it.

Added URL for the Design session blog -- http://user-prompt.com/libreoffice-design-session-special-character/ Issue/Problem as extracted: -* There is no way to quickly re-use recently-picked special characters, forcing the user to search in the whole character map, which has no filter to narrow down results. -* People writing scientific/legal essays or reports frequently need to insert accented letters and other characters. -* Technical POV to special characters (alignment 15 by 15) instead of natural organization -* The subset is limited by presetting a special font (some chars cannot be found when the wrong font is set-up) -* Search function is missing (should be available for name, id, symbol…) -* Weird interaction with selection first followed by copy/paste from Characters -* No individualization like store last subset, or define ‘my own subset’
Created attachment 123083 [details] gnome character map Bug 98250 suggested we display the unicode character name in the dialog, similar to how it is in the screenshot. The full unicode character information is scheduled to be displayed in the extended mockup within a tooltip. The unicode character name can be pulled from either of these sources. http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/UnicodeData.txt http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/NamesList.txt
just for the reference (as i found it by accident) this feature request is listed since ages at https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Really_basic_missing_features_and_enhancements#Insert_Special_Characters_-.3E_Recent_Characters_tdf.2334882

i'm interessed to resolve this easyhack! but i have a lot of question to start: is there a website/wiki/.. to view how is the logic of the code? which are the files to modify a dialog? is there a IDE to draw the layout of dialog? if not, how to code this? which is the file that contain the code dialog functions? in a while i'll try to read the patchs just merged... i'm new and i'm intersting to learn about how is contruct the code of libreOffice (i don't know if exists a channel to comunicate with anyone to discuss the logic of libreoffice!) thanks!

I have installed 5.4 alpha and it still doesn't have a StringGadget "Recently used symbols" like MS Word does.
(In reply to Marco A.G.Pinto from comment #42) > I have installed 5.4 alpha and it still doesn't have a StringGadget > "Recently used symbols" like MS Word does. @Federico, are you still working on your patch [1]? Or should its work be abandoned and this issue unassigned? =-ref-= [1] https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/32224/
