Dear Gnome Desktop devs, (This e-mail is about the Character Palette panel applet; I have done my best to choose the right mailing list. If this is not the right one, I do apologise.)
Currently, Character Palette's default palettes are organised by base letter. For example: áàâãäåæª éèêëæ This is useful for finding the letter you need, but less useful for typing in any one language: one has to keep switching palettes. The solution: also offer palettes containing the special of (groups of) languages. Here are the examples for German and (lowercase-)French: äöüÄÖÜß»« âêîôûàèéïÿç«» (German uses inward-pointing guillemets as quotmarks, French outward-pointing ones.) Does this sound like a good idea? If yes, I'll follow up with a list of Things I Should Find Out and Things I Should Do. (Thankfully, Character Palette seems to be Latin-scripts–only, at least at present. That makes things easier.)
