Thread:VisualEditor/Feedback/Updated special character inserter tool/reply (12)

Hi, the new special character insertion tool is a lot better than the previous one: It now takes two clicks to insert a special character instead of four. However, that is still twice as many clicks as in the Wikitext editor, where inserting a special character only takes one click, thanks to the extended editing toolbar.

Quotation marks that wrap around selected text (as they do in the existing Wikitext editor) would be really cool. To highlight the importance of this feature, please note that, for example, the German-language community will have to insert each and every quotation mark using this tool because German uses different quotation marks than English ("" vs. „“). The same, as far as I know, goes for French ("" vs. «»).

Thanks,
