Re: [libreoffice-users] special characters from keyboard?

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].
