Screenshot from Abby Finereader for Add character dialog

[RFE] Spelling and Grammer dialog - put a button to open Special Character dialog. This would be handy for users who correct multi-lingual text and they don't know how to write special characters for particular language, or to put valid quotation mark for special language...

(An idea based on Abby Finereader's 'Verify Text windows'. Screenshot from Finereader.)

Functional request - marking as NEW and requesting dev input to try to get it into easy hack territory.

Thanks for the suggestion.

For time being: Ctrl+Shift+S does the trick too - but not so obvious as a button, indeed :)

Ctrl-Shift-S is Save dialog.

Not when the cursor is for input in the spelling and grammar or the search and replace dialog.
