Smart quotes

Smart quote support is pretty easy to add, but I'm a little unsure if it's necessary. The reason that I say this is because it seems like for some font's (such as Skia) smart quotes are already supported. Also their seem to be a number of third party Services/Input Managers that already support smart quotes. What do people think?

Quite honestly, for me Mori would be useless without smart quotes and I would go elsehere. You ARE in part targeting people who write, right?

In my case, I use SpellCatcher anyway and it helps with that and a few other things like emdash and single space. You might also ask Michael Tsai to tweak BBautocomplete for Mori. It may be possible:

It is likely to be easy to trigger but hard to get it to look up the concordance as a source.And there’s textextras:

Okay, my opinion, personally I hate smart quotes. They are a typographical embellishment that have little function on the computer screen. They make transfer to plain text documents less portable, mess up web-browsers when uploaded to the web, and so forth. Once again, in my opinion, targeting to writers (if even in part) has little to do with their necessity. I've never had an agent turn me down because my manuscript had androgynous quotes!

So, I agree with Jesse. No need to clutter up the Preference pane with something like that, when there are already plenty of utilities that do this automatically. A plug-in, for Mori, at the most.

I've added this in the soon to be released Mori 1.2. I'm not quite sure if this was a good idea, but it was so easy to add, and it shouldn't hurt anyone who doesn't use it. They are off by default, but you can turn them on in the preferences.
