Going back to an earlier dicussion...
I disagree. It's actually much easier now that the Text Expression Designer is WYSIWYG, so we can see exactly how far the enclosure characters extend (even if we can't see exactly where they are). Besides, I don't even know how Coda would implement what you want them to implement without going back to the old, bad, non WYSIWYG Text Expression Designer, and that's never going to happen (nor should it -- that would be like throwing out the baby with the bathwater).
I don't know what to suggest, then. I can never remember the keystrokes for the enclosures, and I always depended on editing an existing expression and copying the enclosures (and their spacing!) Perhaps a separate "type-in" window and a separate "preview" window would satisfy us both?
Again, I'm afraid I think a "type in" window would be needless, confusing clutter. If you want to see exactly where the JazzFont enclosure characters fall using in the Fin2004+ Text Expression designer, all you have to do is press cmd-A (Select All), then cmd-opt-T (to bring up the "Character Setting" dialog), and change fonts to any regular text font. Then reverse the process when you've got your enclosure characters placed the way you want them. There's no need for a "type in" window, because you can already "type in" using any font you like!
Personally, I think it's far easier just to memorize the Jazz Font enclosure characters -- and the enclosure characters themselves are much easier to use in the new Text Expression Designer, now that it's WYSIWYG! But perhaps the method I described above would be a good workaround for you...
