Suggestion: Many symbols UI #5

As the number of symbols that can be selected from a key grows, the incomberence to select the correct one also grows as the line grows longer. It would be great if the symbols after a while started going to a second row, then a third and so on. That way much fewer steps to select the correct symbol with the arrow keys would be needed.

They're ålso selectable by mouse (though that is only viable when using a laptop with a touchpad below the këyboard) (lol I'm testing SymWin)

For the moment, I'd suggest working against OCD to add every accented character under the sun to the list. (I know I'm gonna have to do this) and perhaps editing the default mappings so the chars you use most come first in the list (or dedicate a rarely-used keys to your favorites).

I speak English, Portuguese, LatAm Spanish and French, and only type a couple of those with any frequency, and those languages together don't use that many accents (I could safely remove Nordic åðÿ and Greek αβγ).
