<h3>An unfortunate aspect, and its workaround</h3>
<p>There is a limitation in this process, and that is in text entry. You can
only directly enter characters from the keyboard, which might include spaces,
but not a non-printing character like a carriage return. Since the keyboard
shortcut for entering Unicode characters does not work here, this is not
possible, nor other special glyphs. If you have some system settings for
entering special characters from the keyboard, this should work as expected.</p>
-<p>The workaround for these situations is that before you open this dialog,
you copy the sequence of special characters you need, for example highlighting
them and then pressing Ctrl+C. Now open the dialog and paste, Ctrl+V. You won't
see a carriage return in the text field, but it will be there and look like a
space. Printing characters should however show up. If you want different
special glyphs in Search and Replace, you should be able to figure out some
method to accomplish this, but remember that Search/Replace saves your last
entries even if they weren't used. Also worth mentioning is that as long as you
haven't closed Scribus, the settings carry over from one document to the next.
+<p>For example, it may be helpful to use a Compose key for this purpose. Once
you set this up on your system, many characters not represented on your
keyboard may be entered. For example, let's assume you have set up the left Win
key as your Compose key. To enter é from the keyboard, type Left-Win, then ',
then e. Most accented characters are intuitive, but there are online resources
to help with more unusual characters.</p>
