Hi Nathan, In addition to what George said, if for example you always want to generate the mdash when the "-" is pressed you can use our Java API to set a document filter:

Hi Nathan,

In addition to David's suggestion to use the Symbols toolbar you can also configure code templates or your own custom actions to insert special characters or even more complex fragments. If you define custom actions then you can also assign shortcuts for them.

Hi, Is there anyway to enter in special characters like mdash, ndash etc without using escape sequence (like maybe set up a shortcut etc)?

Thanks, Nathan
