I think it would be useful if the XMLmind XML Editor (XXE) had a
facility for remembering commonly used or inserted characters (from its
'Characters' panel) somewhere in the user interface. I imagine this
could either be automatically generated ("top 256 of your most-used
characters", "256 of your last-used characters", or both) or manually
populated (right click on a character and add it to "custom" character
list). I desire this simply for easy access to a Unicode subset to
which a user often refers. I know that I often use some greek
characters, some special punctuation, some arrows, and a few
mathematical symbols quite often, and I'd love to have a single palette
for this handy Unicode subset.
As an added bonus, it'd be great to have a way to assign a keyboard
shortcut to insert a (user-defined) few specific characters. Actually,
this is probably possible using the insertString command[0], although
it's a bit hard for users to customize this from a nice user interface.
And I just went and played with it, and even this isn't completely true,
because I remembered that editing XXE configurations with XXE is
actually not too bad. Have I mentioned that XXE rocks lately?
Take care,
John L. Clark
