--- Comment #6 from Michael Bauer <fios at akerbeltz.org> ---
I agree, this would be very useful. It's too much to expect normal users to do
this via scripts. In my work I require so many characters not on any keyboard I
used to use the Microsoft Custom Keyboard Layout generator - until that
starting breaking. Fortunately the Keyboard Layout Manager (commercial
unfortunately) works very well instead but it would be better to have this
within LO as an easy to use method rather than having people create their own
layouts.

One common problem though I've discovered with these is that great care must be
taken in implemenation so that if there is a conflict with a system or LO
shortcut, the LO shortcut should take precedence. For example, if I put ə onto
Alt+E, depending on the scenario, Word used to read this as a hotkey. Or even
worse, some shortcut keys like Ctrl+t create a conflict between what Word wants
(Increase Indent) and what I want (þ).

So if we do this with LO, at least within LO, if someone goes to the trouble of
creating a custom shortcut on the char map, this should over-ride any other
shortcut.
