"simpleaccents.symbolCycles": 
[   { "key": "a", "cycle":  "áàāâãäåą" },
    { "key": "b", "cycle":  "ßƀƃƅ" },
    { "key": "c", "cycle":  "çćċč" },
    { "key": "d", "cycle":  "ďđ" },
    { "key": "e", "cycle":  "èéêëēĕėęěȅȇȩə" },
    { "key": "g", "cycle":  "ĝğġģǥǧ" },
    { "key": "--", "cycle":  [ "–", "—" ] },
]

Known Issues and TODO

Cycle might be unstable on your rare symbols in "cycle" value. To avoid this problem, use array definition instead. Example: "cycle": ["á", "à", ... ]
No open/close quotes auto detect
No extension icon
