Reading this, another idea might be to distinguish between space and Enter key
and have Enter key close the dialog in addition, as happens e.g. in the Insert
-> Hyperlink dialog, too, so maybe sth like this (but then consistently for
both, characters in the character table (like search results) *and* the
favorites/recently used ones), so:

* space key inserts the character, but leaves the dialog open
* Enter inserts the character and closes the dialog

(And still make putting focus into the search results make the "Insert" button
usable right away.)
What do you think?
