- In :guilabel:`Code` mode, you enter a Unicode character by typing in the hex
- code for the character and pressing :kbd:`Enter`. For example, type in ``2716``
- and press :kbd:`Enter` to get ``✖``. You can also choose a character from the
- list of recently used characters by typing a leading period ``.`` and then the
- two character index and pressing :kbd:`Enter`.
- The :kbd:`Up` and :kbd:`Down` arrow keys can be used to choose the previous and
- next Unicode symbol respectively.
- In :guilabel:`Name` mode you instead type words from the character name and use
- the :kbd:`ArrowKeys` / :kbd:`Tab` to select the character from the displayed
- matches. You can also type a space followed by a period and the index for the
- match if you don't like to use arrow keys.
- You can switch between modes using either the keys :kbd:`F1` ... :kbd:`F4` or
- :kbd:`Ctrl+1` ... :kbd:`Ctrl+4` or by pressing :kbd:`Ctrl+[` and :kbd:`Ctrl+]`
- or by pressing :kbd:`Ctrl+Tab` and :kbd:`Ctrl+Shift+Tab`.
