            Bug ID: 90862
           Summary: French: apply same auto-correction than " to « and »
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 4.3.3.2 release
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: [email protected]

Hi,

If you type a french document, " symbols will be replaced by « or », and a
non-breaking space will be added («_foo_»): this is really helpfull, especially
because « and » symbols are not available on the usual french keyboard layout.

The problem is when you use the "bépo" keyboard layout (rarely used but
optimized for french language, "dvorak" equivalent): you can directly type « or
» symbols, but the non-breakable spaces are not added.

This means that if you just replace " by « or » when you type (which is the
most instinctive), it will not auto-correct anything and you and up with «foo»
instead of «_foo_».

So currently, you have two solutions using the "bépo" layout:
 - manually type the non-breakable spaces (with Shift+Space)
 - continue to use the " key (which is easily available on the "bépo" layout)

I think it would make sense:
 - if « is typed, to add a non-breakable space after
 - if » is typed, to add a non-breakable space before

Regards,
Yvan
