Punctuation in Suggestion Bar

Any chance the suggestion bar be customisable with regard to punctuation?

Instead of just having ! ? ,@ _ how about being able to customize which punctuation appears?

The reason for asking is I often use " " - / \ and I much prefer using the suggestion bar rather than long pressing.

Many thanks!

I'd also find this really helpful. I'd like to swap out the suggested underscore with a hyphen, for example.

Perhaps it could just automatically update content based on frequency of use?

This feature is now here, in the latest beta!
There is a new option "custom punctuation"

And now it's in the latest Market release! Thanks very much, cyril.

I've now added a hyphen and quotation marks to the suggestion bar. The hyphen works perfectly - this sort of thing is now very quick to type out - but with the quotation marks I find the second "closing "marks appear with the wrong spacing as I've just demonstrated, rather than as "closing" marks. Would it be possible to tweak it somehow so that I don't have to go back and fix it manually every time?

This is because you typed this space yourself, or enabled the option "space after picking" (which is off by default)
