Something that’ll show which letters can use the same side bearings as the ‘H’ or which ones will use just the left side of the ‘H’.

Just something to help getting started with a new project.

Those values are different for each typeface. Depends on all kind of factors. So this shortcut can’t be used.

Maybe this pdf is helpful to you.

I put together a bunch of default keys for Latin in my Spacing > Metrics Key Manager script. https://github.com/mekkablue/Glyphs-Scripts/
