So <semicolon><ASCII character> gives 25 more options. A comma is also a candidate. <comma><c> could be used for c cedilla. Even the letter q may serve this purpose as with only very few exceptions there will always be a 'u' following it.<br></div><div><br></div>I discovered</div><div> UnicodeCodePoint namedCharactersMap</div><div><br></div><div>I did <br></div><div>UnicodeCodePoint namedCharactersMap at: #openo put: $ɔ<br>UnicodeCodePoint namedCharactersMap at: #o put: $ɔ</div><div><br></div><div>this now allows me to have a new combinartion<br></div><div>\openo<space> The space is still necessary and it needs to followed by a backspace.</div><div>\o <br></div><div><br></div><div>So this is easily extendable.<br></div><div><br></div><div>You gave the link <br></div><div><a href="https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev/commit/2c52852e716348f6350a461b0081ebe59971674d">https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev/commit/2c52852e716348f6350a461b0081ebe59971674d</a></div><div>which contains method</div><div>Editor>>
