[Cuis-dev] Removed 4 sequences from NamedCharacters / LatEx character input

[Gerald Klix]

IHMO the undo implementation is broken.
If you enter «'C:\times» and than add a single «'»
you get «'C:×'», if you undo this substitution,
the undo also deletes the «'». If the input of a «'»
and the following substitution were separated into
two undo entries, one would be able to undo them separately,
thus enabling one to just cancel the substitution.


Just my Fr. 0.02,

Gerald
