Compose Special Characters 1.0.92

Compose Special Characters lets you type two or three characters and then run a macro to convert them into a single accented or special character. The extension currently supports Writer and Calc.
You can also use a dialog to insert any supported character. The dialog lists all supported characters and the character combinations you use to compose them - once you know the character combination you need for any particular character you dont need to use the dialog. The characters are categorised in the dialog for easier reference.
To open the dialog choose Compose Character... on the Insert menu (Insert > Compose Character...).
You can assign the macro to Alt+Shift+Z using a button on the dialog, or you can manually assign it to whatever key combo you choose via Tools > Customise... > Keyboard.
