I was very happy to see one can add new fields in the toolbar. It would be even better if one could add several sections, like MediaWiki:Edittools used to be. An external dictionary with the section name as index should work.

Unrelated to the Visual Editor, the same page should be used to edit the text editor's toolbar.

I created MediaWiki:Visualeditor-quick-access-characters.json on slovenian Wikipedia (:sl), but there is no effect in VE. Must there be done something else?

Thanks. I wonder what happened to MediaWiki:Visualeditor-specialcharinspector-characterlist-insert? Is it still in use? I'm trying to track changes in VE, but if I overlook them (newsletter), it is difficult to find the instructions. Where to get all this Mediawiki: ...... settings (with instructions)?

These instructions are incomplete: in the JSON object, what are the keys, what are the values? Does one of the two types say what is displayed and the other what is inserted? The enwiki example, where all keys match their values, does not help.

Yes, the key is the caption of the button and the value is what gets inserted. You can checkout the rowiki page for a more advanced example.
