   The whole point of providing open source code is so everyone improves it.   
      
   To that end, here is the latest version of the shortcuts.xml file.   
   Note that the intent is to convert (not to edit) characters.   
      
   Typically a conversion is needed to ASCII when "funky text" is copied   
   from a variety of prettified web sources, and you want it consistent.   
      
   The only consistent mechanism that EVERYONE can agree on is keyboard   
   ascii (aka the 95 characters found on the typical desktop keyboard).   
      
   Note that I could put into this shortcuts.xml a conversion of all possible   
   "funky text" but then it would become enormous - so this is common stuff.   
      
   It's stuff I've run into over the years.   
   Below, for your edification, is my latest shortcuts.xml file.   
      
   The use model is simple:   
    1. Bring up Notepad++ (e.g., "Win+R > n" if you use "App Paths" keys)   
    2. Ctrl+v paste the funky text & Ctrl+a (to select all)   
    3. Ctrl+b (to convert all the pasted text to keyboard ASCII)   
      
   It's fast. Effective. Simple.   
   If anyone has a *better* solution, please let all of us know what that is.   
      
   Otherwise, this is the best (so far) that I can offer the team to use.
