Switch glyph at cursor short-cut

Similar to how you in Glyphs can press Cmd+Shift+Up/Down to switch a glyph at cursor to next/previous glyph. Mouse Trap could be a good tool to implement the key press controls. An array of glyphs would be needed and a decision on which glyphs to include.
sounds a bit advanced but could work if there were some unicode value object we could use.
Yeah, or we just keep a long ordered array of all glyphs, find glyph in array and switch it for next or previous index. Not beautiful but could work for all "regular" alphabet characters. Not sure
Having a manual array seems a bit too limited though. For it to work you should be able to jump also from e.g. > and Ѿ to the corresponding next character so we'd have to create that array from some unicode list somewhere
You have a point. I agree that ideally it should support as many glyphs as possible. Maybe too much work for too little use case, for now. More of a neat nice to have in the future.
Some good list of glyphs: https://github.com/google/fonts/tree/master/tools/encodings
