<![CDATA[Space Center: adding a glyph to the existing string]]>I've noticed that if I drag'n'drop a glyph to the text string field of the Space Center, despite the + sign, the glyph replaces the text in the field. Is there a way to change that? I've tried a couple of hot keys but it doesn't change the behavior.

Thanks, M

A handy thing that could be added is 'alt' down for appending instead replacing

technote: The quotes you're using get transformed in the email I receive and read in Apple Mail. In the forum, it looks good. Here's how 'alt' looks on my side: ‘alt’

It would be great if we could eventually drag glyphs directly into the preview part of the Space Center. Dragging into the text input field gets a bit messy when you're dealing with lots of explicit /glyphNames. No doubt this is easier said than done ;-)
