To trigger the second list type Ctrl , (That is: Ctrl + comma).
To close the list hit the Escape key.
Type the number from 0 to 9 that corresponds to the character you want to input.
You can keep typing other letters while this extension is active but the numbers 0-9 are not available.
You can change the definitions whenever you want, just remember to click on the "Save" button when you're finished.

NB: The characters will only be added if your text cursor is in an INPUT or TEXTAREA field.
