Keyboard shortcuts for character map

[burbles]

Would it be possible to add the ability to assign keyboard shortcuts to any glyph in the character map? For example, click on a particular glyph then have a text field in the character map where a combination keystroke could be entered. This would be extremely useful for authoring. Currently, it is only possible to do something like this by writing a processing instruction - but for non-technical authors this is too much to ask.

Hi,

Would it be possible to add the ability to assign keyboard shortcuts to any glyph in the character map? For example, click on a particular glyph then have a text field in the character map where a combination keystroke could be entered.

We'll consider this as an improvement request.

What do you mean exactly?

As a workaround you could create code templates in the Oxygen Preferences->"Editor / Templates / Code Templates" page with a certain display name which insert a certain character code.
These created code templates appear in the content completion list when pressing ENTER in the Author page and thus can be easily inserted.
