Hello, people!
In Babel there are many language-specific shortcuts. For example, we have "---,
"--~, "--* and another. The package extdash (ncc-tools collection) provides
extra useful shortcuts, too. Unfortunatelly, LYX converts " into \char`\"{},
Or to \textquotedbl if the encoding is T1.
so, we forced to use ERT for such shortcuts. It is very, very uncomfortably!
I have found similar topic here http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/75 but it is
still not resolved (over 9 years!).
That has more to do with import, and it seems clear what to do. Someone
just has to have the energy to do it.
My question is how to configure LYX to use such sortcuts directly without ERT?
I'm not sure why we output '"' as something other than '"', but I expect
there is a good reason, and someone will surely tell us. Right now, this
is not configurable except by disabling all such translation.
The extdash options could easily be added to InsetSpecialChar, but we
would want to make sure that extdash.sty was pretty widely installed by
default before doing this.
