--- Comment #1 from V Stuart Foote <vsfoote at libreoffice.org> ---
Making specific keyboard short-cut assignments to a single Unicode codepoint
would not be overly useful and would be at odds with os/DE "deadkey" or numpad
based symbol entry, or actual IME--no need to reinvent the wheel.
Of course we already have our Alt+X Unicode conversion feature that covers all
BMP/SMP requirements--but it requires U+#HEXVALUE key entry, and then an
<Alt>X, 'U+100<Alt>x' for Ā, and 'U+101<Alt>x' for ā
Probably a more general way to do this would be an ability to expose the "split
button" of the 'Insert Special Character' tb button.
The "split button" will show a list of user curated 'Favorite Characters'
assignments and the 'Recent Characters' as picked from the charmap. IIANM
curated with the associated font.
With the split button exposed, either mouse cursor to select as now, or maybe
provide a new means to pick with keyboard for accelerated selection (i.e. like
most IME).
The full 'More characters...' dialog launch of the SCD would remain available
for users to make adjustments to the split button.
