To assign a keyboard shortcut to a special character, proceed as follows:
1. Invoke the command Insert > Symbol.
2. Select the character that you want to assign a keyboard shortcut to.
3. Click on the Change button next to the Shortcut key option.
4. Another dialog opens. There, press the desired keyboard shortcut in the Please
press accelerator input box.
We recommend using key combinations that include the keys (Ctrl) and
(Shiftª), since these are normally not assigned.
Hint: If you make a typing mistake, you can always press the backspace key
(æ__) to remove the keyboard shortcut you entered.
5. Don’t forget: Click on Add to assign this shortcut to the character.
6. Confirm with OK and exit the main dialog box with Close.
From now on, you can insert this special character into the text by pressing the
selected key combination.
Note: The keyboard shortcut remembers only the selected character; the selected
font is not remembered.
For more information on changing the keyboard layout, see the section
“Customizing keyboard shortcuts” (starting on page 544). Hint: The keyboard
shortcuts for special character can be edited by opening the dialog for editing the
keyboard mapping and choosing the entry Characters in the left list.
