Updated 24 October 2010.

WhichSymbol (which I'm now calling 'Redux' just to differentiate the versions) has a brand new UI.

The first post in this thread has been updated so you can see how it looks.

Very clever new UI. Is this made in CodeLab or Visual Studio?

Great plugin! One thing that I have always had trouble with was remembering which key represents each symbol in fonts like Webdings . This has made things so much easier. Thanks very much.

CodeLab definitely can't do that.

[csm725]

Thought so. Thanks for the clarification.

[Ego Eram Reputo]

Yup, Pyrochild is correct as usual.

Codelab, for all it's power, doesn't support the ListView control (thats the bit where you select a symbol by clicking on it). So I've been fiddling with C# express edition to build the latest incarnation.

I wanted to have a series of 'History' buttons, where each selection was placed in the most recent button for quick recall. I got the XML file saving, but loading proved a major pain. In the end it proved too troublesome to continue with, but I might look at it again when I get time.

Let me know if you want help with it

Thanks to pyrochild, a new version of the world famous WhichSymbol plugin has just been made available (see first post).

This new version remembers your 10 previous character selections and enables quick recall of any of those characters with the click of a button. Simple really.

For those of you who really want to know, the selection details are saved to an XML file (WhichSymbolRedux.xml) & loaded each time the plugin is run. Any changes are committed back to the file when the OK button is clicked.

Now this awesome, a UI that you love right away when you see it, You did a great job, thank you and thank you Pyro, too.
The history feature is a great addition.

I've only just discovered this very neat Plugin (after perusing your links under your sig) and I have to thank you Big Time   You have no idea how much time I've spent hitting every key on the keyboard over the years to find an image.  You are a clever chappie

Thanks Pixey (nice new name you have there).  I'm particularly pleased with this plugin - several others of mine are... awful
