Add quoting shortcuts <enhancement> #155

Open dtmpsc opened 4 years ago

dtmpsc commented 4 years ago

Occasionally, I have quoting punctuations that are a pain to enter manually. A shortcut similar to the end of a sentence would be nice. e.g.

auto captions Then the wife says to me get your lazy butt off the couch then I said okay already

Corrected captions Then the wife says to me, "Get your lazy butt off the couch!" Then I said, "Okay, already."

Not sure about the implementation for this, but maybe using the quote key <"> would place a comma <,> on the previous word and a quote <"> and a first letter capital on the current word. Then the next end of sentence punctuation would place the .", !" or ?" Of course just the first part of the quote punctuation would be very handy.

I think DIY (aka hyprscribr) does this with ctrl-shift-D.

Thanks, sorry I did not see this before. (Been busy implementing the new sharing.)

I will ask Mike (DIY) what he thinks. Could you perhaps describe exactly how it works in DIY today?

Hi, Lennart. This function in HyprScribr does the following: If between words, it appends a comma to the word on the left, prepends a double quote to the word on the right, and capitalizes it. If at the beginning of a new line, it does the same as above but appends no period. If pressed twice, it shifts the double quote such that it is immediately after the comma. The double press functionality could use a little more situational awareness.

Thanks Mike. It can't be exactly the same in EasyCapEd since there is no "between words".

I have to think about it. Suggestion are welcomed, as usual.
