How to disable smart quotes? #1631

Closed wfwdex closed 5 months ago

wfwdex commented 5 months ago

Current issue

After I turned off edit -> substitutions -> smart quotes, it was still enabled the next time I opened CotEditor.

The solution you'd like

I need a switch that turns it off permanently.

Alternatives you've considered

I've tried turning it off everywhere else but it doesn't work.

The smart quotes toggle in the menu bar is just for temporal use for the frontmost editor.

For lasting use, set it in the Mode settings pane.

Thank you very much, It's work now. 👍

@1024jp do you think use of smart options in the menu bar should change the current mode settings?

This seems like as compromise between old and new behaviour.

No, I don't. The settings in the Settings window should be changed only in the Settings window.

That's a shame.

4.8.x is a real step back in usability as we can see by the number of issues regarding quotes/modes.

This is really a "stupid quote" !

It depends on the usage. CotEditor is not only for coding. This is the reason why I added the mode feature and gave room to customize it to the user.

I think new behaviour should have been explained with a popup when it was introduced, maybe opt in/out

I personally don't like the so-called What's New screen, so far I have not added it except for important changes. However, starting with the next minor update, CotEditor will have it (it has already been implemented).

Thank you for remaining open minded about this
