Did you read my explanation, that would require linking Sigil with the ICU lib which would necessitate adding 31meg of code and data to an already huge Sigil app or hugely slow down editing by calling into the python interpreter after every single keystroke.

If there was a just a limited set of character names that everyone was interested in seeing that would be different.

So this suggestion "as made" is not gonna happen.

The closest approximation I could get would be a button, icon, or menu that a user would need to trigger to display the character name someplace like the status bar. But this would be done only on user request and not automatically after every keystroke in the editor as it would require calling into the python interpreter.

So maybe a new menu item: "Inspect Character" that would report the name of the character?

Slower and requiring user interaction but doable without the huge file size penalty or loss of editing speed.

Any interest in that?
