It would be nice, if it was possible to add frames in the Character style.
Currently, framing is possible in Paragraph style only, around entire 
paragraphs.

MS Word has already long time this kind of feature in its Character style, so
when importing a document that uses it, the frames around the characters are of
course lost.

It was useful for me when writing software manuals, for example in a sentence
like this: ( consider the "[" and "]" here in this text as a frame )

"Press [F5] to copy the item, and [Esc] to close the window."

I used to put frame around "F5" and "Esc" to get a keyboard-button-like look, I
added also one nonbreakable space at each side of the text inside the frame so
it was not too close at the sides.

Note that this kind of framing is possible also in HTML.

Recently, I solve this inconvenience by coloring the background of the style,
but it does not look as nice and sometimes makes the text inside badly readable.

Of course, one might suggest that I add a Frame with the desired text and align
it as a character in the paragraph, but it is rather complicated to do it and
get it look nice so it does not disturb the flow of the lines.

I think it would be useful also in other situations, and it would also improve
the importing from MS Word.
