Major Issue: Symbols Within Words #37

Closed herotozero closed 2 years ago

herotozero commented 2 years ago

The add on does not work if symbols occur inside of a word, for example:

I want "oe" to be replaced by "ö" to write the German word "Löffel". Typing "Loeffel" however will not be modified by the addon. I have to type "L oe ffel", which results in "L ö ffel" and then manually remove the whitespaces.

Could you please add support so that "oe" will be picked up by the addon, even if it is inside of a word. I think this small change can make this a lot more useful for many users.

Thank you so much.

Hm, the plugin is designed so that most keys are enclosed in :: (see below for some default symbols). There are a few exceptions for arrows for convenience, but those are exceptions rather than the norm. image

What you're describing should work if you set up the key as :oe:... then as soon as you type L:oe: it should change to "Lö".
