Customizing and sorting Quick Accent

[LolaSeveera]

Description of the new feature / enhancement

In addition to important language related characters like mentioned here #20390
it would be great if users could sort the order in which characters are listed in the pop-up, and if you could customize characters and the keys they are shown on.

For example, if you could freely map symbols like "©" to any regular key on the keyboard.

Scenario when this would be used?

If you make use of specific accents frequently, the fixed order in which characters currently appear in might be counterintuitive and counterproductive. Being able to change the order in which they appear could allow each user to put frequently used characters at the front of the list.

Being able to assign custom characters to keys would be a major improvement for ease of use, compared to remembering and using Alt-codes or creating lists of characters to pick and copy-paste from.

Agreed. Being able to add to the list of characters on (say) "c" to include ©, and to be able to move that to the "best" (for me) location in the list would be most welcome user customization (because you'll never be able to satisfy everyone).

Definitely this. It would let me solve a longstanding problem I have with the poor keyboard layout in my language, where the diacritics, braces and parentheses put a lot of strain in a touch typist's hands.

It would also override the need for #20390 and would allow us to be way more productive.

EDIT:
Taking a look into the open issues, I think customizing Quick Accent would automatically address stuff pertaining the addition of characters: #20390 #20397 #20339
And others like these: #20312 #20360 where people ask for the ability to edit Quick Accent.
