To clarify: Gerard wants (in part) the dropdown box as used on many Wikimedia wikis, that lets you select a character set from the available edit tools (for example: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Edittools.js ) to be natively supported in CharInsert extension.

The one thing I particularly want is _one_ bit of functionality that just works. Currently there are "implementatons" of the Edittools in many places. Having one Edittools EXTENSION would focus the functionality and allow for a best of breed.

Bug 11130 related.

This is being covered by the special characters component in the new edit toolbar which the usability initiative is working on. Reassigning to Trevor.

The new character insertion utility in the EditToolbar extension's use of wikiEditor totally solves this.

nope, it does not, since you can insert a character, but you can't (natively) specify to encapsulate the selection (eg. with <includeonly></includeonly>)

Yes you can. Some built-in toolbar buttons do this to. The way it's done is by using the pre and post parameters. The documentation on all this sucks and should be updated.
