This macro only works for Writer. You might use → Compose Special Characters for Calc(don't forget to set a "flag character" – e.g.: *)

Is it possible for a LibreOffice (I'm using 3.6.0.0. beta2 version now) to configure specified special characters (for example - ʃ - or - ƥ -) to bet be put in a Writer using keyboard shortcut?
You could use the following macro [1], and assign it to a shortcut key.
Sample U+222B INTEGRAL ∫
Sub insert_integral
Dim oDoc as variant
oDoc = ThisComponent
Dim oCurrentController as variant
oCurrentController = oDoc.getCurrentController()
Dim oTextViewCursor as variant
oTextViewCursor = oCurrentController.getViewCursor()
Dim oText as variant
If IsEmpty(oTextViewCursor.Cell) Then
oText=oTextViewCursor.Text
Else
oText=oTextViewCursor.Cell.Text
End If
oText.insertString(oTextViewCursor,chr(clng("&H222B")),false)
End Sub (1) Tools → Macros → Organize Macros → LOdev Basic... → Edit
(2) Tools → Customize... → Keyboard
Category: LOdev Macros/user/Standard/Module 1
Function: insert_integral
Keys: Alt+Shift+I
Modify → OK
(3) Test with LibreOffice 3.6.0.0.beta2

Thanks to Regina Henschel!
You could use this extension → Compose Special Characters.
("There are two ways to create special characters - Compose Special Characters and Compose Unicode Characters.")
Tools → Extension Manager → Add... → ComposeSpecialCharacters-2.0.10.oxt

Thank you very much for your kind contribution. I wish someday creators of Libre- will invent an equivalent for an option "paste->special symbols", like in (ergh) Office. I'll try both ways and maybe I'll reply.
