Is it possible to have subheaders/section titles within a custom list filter? Similar to the category titles using \*\*, but within the filter itself so it’s visible when I click to see what’s missing/included without having to generate first. I have several small sets of glyphs, which would be nice to combine into just a few larger lists that have little subheaders instead of making a million little lists with just a few glyphs apiece. This is for a sidebar entry .plist file. ---

I don’t really understand. Can you give an example and may a sketch how it should look? ---

I want to have lists of common features we use broken up by the languages we support; we don’t always have all the languages nor all the features, so being able to easily pick visually is very helpful. So something like this: ![sidebar titles](https://forum.glyphsapp.com/uploads/default/original/3X/e/3/e3f61e82ed929829b4802bd594a37a8eb0cadb53.png) ---

I see. Good idea. ---

Looks like a good idea. This is beside the point, but do you know the Talking Leaves plugin? It helps you build your character set based on language support. It’s an absolutely excellent plugin. > [@new\_button TalkingLeaves plugin is now available](https://forum.glyphsapp.com/t/talkingleaves-plugin-is-now-available/29611): > > Explore the world’s languages and writing systems, and see what your font is missing!

Thanks, I’ll check that plugin out. For now I will use a dummy glyph as a title header in my lists and hope that this feature gets added :} ---

Any thoughts on if this is something that could be added? 🙂 ---

This should work already. ---

Oh fabulous! The titles don’t persist once you’ve selected the filter as section headers but it’s still great having them within the filter itself. Lots of template filters to update now 🙂
