Extended Character Map for OS/2

Extended Character Map for OS/2 (previously known as Double Byte Character Map) is a character map program that is designed to support characters from both single- and multi-byte encodings. It supports both Unicode (Plane 0) text, plus a number of specific East Asian codepages, in addition to the current system codepage.

Conventional OS/2 character map programs support only single-byte characters, which is generally sufficient for Western languages, but suddenly becomes inadequate when you need access to the vast Unicode character set, or writing systems like Chinese, Japanese, or Korean (collectively known as 'CJK'). Extended Character Map is designed to fill in this gap.

Extended Character Map does not require your system codepage(s) to be set to any particular value. It should be fully-functional on any language version of OS/2.

os2-ucharmap's Issues

UI/Keyboard event handling improvement proposal to speed up copying several characters

Imagine you want to copy several characters from the right in a row, and one of them has focus already (so you could select any of another four characters with the cursor keys).

Currently, if you press the "Add" button mnemonic, the character gets copied, and the "Add" button gets focus. To select the next character using the cursor, you would need to TAB three times to move the focus back to the character you just copied before, and then go on.

I propose that, when the "Add" button is selected using its mnemonic while a character on the right has focus, the focus be returned immediately to the selected character after copying it, eliminating the need to TAB the focus back to the character so the cursor can still be used to select the next one.

I think this would not interfere with any other functionality, and would improve greatly the process as described, as several characters could be easily selected like this alternating use of both hands.
