One feature that Fitaly lacks is the ability to pull up symbols, like Wingdings,a Greek letter set, maybe others.. Maybe the shortcut key could access those symbols.
For that matter, I can envision several alternate character sets that could be optionally installed in the Fitaly directory, and accessed by the shortcut key.

You can already do it by slides using the html convention as in version 3.: For example, entering
the Greek letter Δ is done by entering the Δ sequence.
If we ever go into multiple character sets,as opposed to sliding the fish key could be used for selection. See the discussion with ILias: http://fitaly.com/board/winceforum/posts/2288.html

On the other hand, finding a selection button for multiple character set is the least off all problems. We have to store the code values (easy) We have to store the Glyphs (more difficult), and we have to convince ourselves that it is worth doing, as some local guy will inevitably tell us that the optimal order of keys that made sense for English does not make any sense for that other language.

Does anyone know if the Fitaly order of letters makes any sense for Greek?
