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

You could use this extension → [Compose Special Characters](http://www.productivityapps.com/csc.html).(*"There are two ways to create special characters - **Compose Special Characters** and **Compose Unicode Characters**."*)

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.
your macro is running in the writer very good. thank you. but how can i run in calc. i can’t run this macro in calc.
This macro only works for Writer. You might use → Compose Special Characters for Calc (don’t forget to set a “flag character” – e.g.: *)
