Well, this is why it would be optional, an extension of the default behaviour, only for those who want it. At least until someone will do bigger makeover. > But what you really want is (it seems to me) to be able to list all > characters from a Unicode block, because you know where the > character is, but you want to find a specific one in that > neighbourhood. Hmmm... this sounds kind of like (on emacs 26.2): 'M-x list-charset-chars RET unicode-bmp/sip/smp/ssp RET'. Assuming someone knows hex code or part of it, simply doing 'isearch-forward' will bring him to the neighbourhood of the character he is looking for. > Instead, perhaps there should be a new command to complete over > Unicode block names, and then list the characters in that block, and > allow you to choose one of them? This sounds more like bigger(?) upgrade of 'insert-char', rather than a new command.
