[Feature Request] Allows Custom quotes #3118

Closed ghost closed 3 years ago

ghost commented 4 years ago

Again, thanks a lot for your work. Typora is a very usefull peace of software that I love to use.

My request... When I am writing french text, I often uses quotes. I've setup typora to uses "french quotes" instead of the default ones and (if you does not consider issue #3072), it works as expected.

My problem is that if I want to follow french typography, I must insert unbreakable spaces after the opening quote and before the closing one.

For now, I manually insert  

I'd love to be able, in the setup screen of typora, to be able to set manually how an opening/closing quote is replaced on input. Let's say that if, along/instead of the selection I was able to enter the string I want to use, It would let me to type «  and  » for the opening and closing.

Just to confirm, you want following highlighted quote styles, right?

Yes :-)

I was suggesting to allows to put whatever the user want because some would use the html code, other the ~ char (as in latex) or whatever. But your solution to just add a new possibility in the list answer my need.

thanks a lot :-)

The smart quotes will also affect the parsing rules, so ~ or html code will not be supported. To map """ to different texts, maybe use tools like TextExpander would be an option.

Also, Russian-style pair of quotes are missing from the preference, they should be «external with some „internal“ quotes». External are there, but I miss the enclosed ones.

The original issue is for "« »", now is already supported in latest version.

Also, Russian-style pair of quotes are missing from the preference, they should be «external with some „internal“ quotes». External are there, but I miss the enclosed ones.

Currently smart quotes are for double quotes and single quotes, not for external and internal ones. In my check, macOS does not support both the «» and „“ pair to replace "" and ''. I wonder how other products support this.
