Last modified: 2021-08-16 07:47:40 UTC
Dear developers, we have significant number of RFEs to enhance "Special characters" dialog. As this seems to be self-contained area I have compiled annotated list below. Please consider enhancing that dialog to increase it's usability. http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=32251 "Insert" and "Close" button for insert special character dialog http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=22727 Redisigne of the 'insert special character' http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=20543 Special character dialog - OK button is disabled before the user has changed the selected character http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=10867 Floating pallete for Symbols http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=16828 often used "special characters" (Sonderzeichen) as pop-up field when long- clicking on sp.ch. icon & context-menu submenu please http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=24225 Virtual Keyboard? http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=75949 http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=15512 Which font to preselect Special characters shortcuts http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4579 Recently used chars http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=76202 Display only existing glyphs http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=9359

Thanks for the compilation.
Dear developers, any plans to enhance Special Characters dialog? Thanks a lot for your attention. WBR, Kirill Palagin.
There are some plans, the least is that we want to have a direct assignment to shortcuts. As always it's a matter of resources and importance. But by providing your compilation in this meta issue you have helped us to consider additional perhaps small changes "while we are at it" - even if we planned to implement the shortcuts only.
Add "Favorits" aka "Bookmarks" - http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi? id=61343
