Description Alex Bell 2015-09-15 23:55:37 UTC 
This is a OS-wide convention. It works in a wide variety of Mac programs including TextEdit, Firefox, Chrome, Coda, etc. Mac users have come to expect it.

Please add this feature as a default. For people who work routinely with symbols, math, foreign languages, and unicode in general, this is an important convenience feature.

Thanks.

It's awkward for one-handed typing, but it would be useful.

Also tested on LO 3672 release, and OOo 321 so this was never implemented, setting to Inherited from OOo
