It may not be neccesary, but we could expand the set of allowed symbols, currently we have;

  • Letters, upper- and lowercase, Numbers and Punctuation, may use shift

We could expand to use symbols like í, þ and £, which are all available on a regular keyboard, the special i's could get used for various "cases" of initial, removing the requirement of ii as a special i could take it's place. Edit: Though you'd need Alt Gr for the latter 2 symbols given.

At the current point, i don't really see it happening, since we still have quite some punctuation not yet used

Edit: Could we also have grouping of symbols to make things like c(QNN) for a capture-only Amazonrider
