Text services currently does not convert quotes into Smart Quotes #1754

Open sdewith opened 8 years ago

sdewith commented 8 years ago

On OS X, it is a system behavior to automatically convert quotes into "smart quotes" so that "these" turn into “these”.

It’s something that Windows does not have afaik, at least this never happens anywhere. I know that feature from the likes of Word and InDesign, which takes into consideration the local version of quote signs; in Germany, our „quote signs“ are different. Would be handy to have something like this in Nylas, yes, replacing wrong quote signs and apostrophs.

Do smart quotes work in Chrome? If they do, then the composer interface is interfereing with this.

@mbilker No, never did :smile: . If you actually asked me.

mbilker commented 8 years ago

@enoversum That would be one reason they do not work in N1. All text fields are handled by Chromium.

@mbilker I don’t complain, I meant a +1 for a feature request (as this issue is already labelled).
