Diacritics in Leap
Right now, staff can only copy & paste diacritics from elsewhere into Leap, but they have no way of directly inputting them into cataloging data. The toolbar was able to do this, but Leap cannot.

This is especially important for libraries that have multilingual collections - for languages that have special characters that aren't easily input by keyboard, or that you need to install multiple keyboard options to use and then memorize the shortcuts for. If you need French, that's fairly straightforward, but as soon as you add Swedish or Indigenous languages like Dene, you start having a whole bunch of special characters that aren't in the "English-international" keyboard set. Having a diacritics/special characters box in LEAP would be very helpful.
