Soronel, Yes, but the script formatting in the description headers is bizarre. There are tabs in some places, but not in others. I've not yet figured out the purpose of the various tabs in the "Acute Capitals" section to correctly insert more characters. If I can't figure it out, then I'll need to just substitute my 6 special characters in place of 6 others already in the list.

I certainly don't see anything in vkeyboard.jss that looks like a static count.
