Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

In German, I prefer to use the „correct quotation marks“ instead of the "simple ones" (those simple ones are only replacement symbols, according to Wikipedia). While it is perfectly possible to switch to the special characters and numbers tab and long-press the " button, doing so every single time is a bit inconvenient.

Describe the solution you'd like

Therefore, I propose that it should be possible to add multiple special characters as secondary symbols to each keyboard button. Currently, the button for the letter x has the " symbol, but it would be very handy if there were also the , , , « and » symbols, just like in FlorisBoard:
