This was requested long time ago in [1] while meanwhile we have the Recently Used section and I 
could imagine to provide access per shortcut to those items. However, there is the wish to extend 
this section [2] and that would break any shortcut approach. What you always can do is to create 
own entries in the replacement table of the autocorrect function [3].

 Hi,
I'm writing some Latin texts with long vowels indicated and so i'm frequently having to go to the 
special characters dialog.
I'm wondering if its possible to set up certain keys in LO so that pressing, e.g. ALT +A would 
enter a with macron character (and SHIFT +ALT +A for the capital)?

I've looked at tools>configure but can't yet see if there is a way to make a key combination 
return a special character rather than execute a function. I've also quickly looked at 
autocorrect but that doesn't seem to work on key combinations.

I'm guessing what i need is a keyboard mapping option?

I'm using LO 6.0.7.3 on ubuntu 18.04.08

Thanks
/Gary
