Didn’t even know that. Sorry for that.

If I understand this correctly this is apparently not possible on Mac.

Help-docs are opened read-only and non editable, the change-tracking
sub-menu greyed out. (Help-files reside inside the application bundle)

To do anything with the doc I had to save it. Elsewhere.

I would prefer something like:
“Smart” single quotes for German documents can be entered on the Mac
using Ctrl-Shift-2. Direct quotes with Opt-s, Opt-#.
(obviously translated then)

In both cases assuming German keyboard-layout.

Since this seems to be more than what’s intended for this doc, a switch
to the hardcoded shortcut inset would display Alt-" on linux and Ctrl-"
on Macs. But these are missing completely from the German guide whereas
they are present in the English one.
Are they to be avoided for German?
