Description

Description of the new feature / enhancement

For people with a US keyboard, it's hard to insert a symbol of a different currency like €. I would propose to add a quick Accent suggestion using the $ symbol key to show other currency symbols.

Scenario when this would be used?

When someone needs needs to add a different currency symbol that their keyboard doesn't have.
