Symbol Dialog and character limitations

In my editor the user should have the possibility to enter almost any character. I have modified the CKEDITOR.config.specialChars to contain 20000+ characters but it would be nice with a scrollbar in this case when the symbol dialog is displayed. CKEditor just lists the characters in 17 columns resulting in 1000+ rows - only displaying the first 20 or so in the visible area.

Is there a solution to this?

You are too rude with your users :lol: .

You should create your own version of that dialog that shows the symbols grouped in some way that it's possible for them to find what they need (and include scrollbars where needed)

Ok - thanks. That is a possibility - I was though hoping for something like scrollable: true

You can check with firebug and maybe you can override the styles, but as a user I would really hate you if you provide me a dialog with 20.000 symbols to search one by one.
