Pierre Beljean Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 I have problem by typing directly some characters in a text frame. It is apostroph (') and tilde (~). Apostroph gives (›) instead and I need to type tilde twice (or type once and then spacebar). When I type twice I get two tilde characters. I have checked other characters and everything looks ok. I am using a desktop computer on windows10 and a swiss-french keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhikkhu Pesala Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Is the ~ key a dead key? Try ~ then n and see if you get ñ or ~ a to get ã I reported a bug in this thread, but no one replied.

Pierre Beljean Posted February 8, 2019 Author Share Posted February 8, 2019 Yes, for tilde I get them. So it is not a specific problem for AF Publisher. But the apostroph is still a real problem !!! As you mention you have similar problems with other characters. Hoping someone from developers team will take that problem in account. Otherwise we will have to post on another forum.

Bhikkhu Pesala Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 The mark that you get when you type ' looks like a close single quote mark used in some languages. Do you also get ‹ when typing ' before a word? If so, this looks like the expected behaviour for smart quotes.

Pierre Beljean Posted February 8, 2019 Author Share Posted February 8, 2019 Yes it is a kind of single quote mark. I obtain it immediately after typing once. Problem for me is that there is no way to type apostroph (') while inside AF Publisher. This is really annoying because in French we use apostroph quite in every sentence !!!

Bhikkhu Pesala Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Look in preferences to disable Autocorrect for smart quotes, but then you lose the benefit of Typographical punctuation.

Pierre Beljean Posted February 8, 2019 Author Share Posted February 8, 2019 Yes, it is working ! Thanks a lot. However, autocorrect should not be set on by default. It is confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
