Levon Brent Johnson said: Indexing: I would love to be able to customize the international characters menu. I generally index just in Spanish, and it is always a struggle to quickly navigate to just the Spanish accented characters. I would love to be able to reorder the characters in that menu so they are grouped together (and, for me, at the top of the menu). Additionally, the biggest thing I miss going from the indexing application to the web indexing is that I can no longer use keyboard shortcuts to enter an international character (in the application before I was able to type Ctrl+'+a to get the accented a, which is much faster than opening the international character menu and having to hunt for the right character to click on with the mouse). Adding international character shortcuts would be a significant time-saver for me.
