Hi again everyone! I have a weird question. I sort of want to use ConTeXt to solve some of my typing laziness. :-) I explain.
When typing a document, I use the normal single-quote style apostrophe ' (UTF U+0027) - the "straight" apostrophe. When typesetting the document, I want the apostrophe to appear like a comma instead. The character is the single comma quotation mark (UTF U+2019). (As both characters exist with different UTF definition , this is not a font issue.) On my computer (it's a laptop), with my keyboard language settings and all (under Ubuntu), the only apostrophe I can manage to type is the first one. From what I can understand, my French Canadian keyboard layout actually replaces the single quote key with something else more important to us -- the acute accent (no, we don't use the French azerty layout). So right now all I can do is copy-paste the right character from the Character Map... it's a bit impractical and unwieldy in the long run, so this is not a good solution. Furthermore, typing an apostrophe is second nature anyway when you've been typing since childhood -- changing such typing habit is very offputting AND it can create many mistakes. I don't want to think about it. :-) Therefore, I was wondering if there was a way to automatically replace one character with another through some TeX magic! Changing all my apostrophes in the input for single comma quotation mark when the document is compiled. Is this possible? Thanks!
