Hello, Personally I'm not aware of such a plugin, but I think that one can indeed be implemented (and sounds like a nice idea). As current workarounds, other than the already mentioned code templates, I can also think of: - the "Insert from Character Map..." dialog. The action is available in the Edit menu. You can use it to insert the needed "dash" elements. There is also a "Symbols" toolbar that presents the recently used characters. So the "dash" characters will be just one click away (maybe two). - in the Author page (if this editing mode is an option), you can define author actions, each one inserting a specific "dash". You can associate shortcuts to these actions of add them in the toolbar, menu etc. Best regards, Alex -- Alex Jitianu <oXygen/> XML Editor, Schema Editor and XSLT Editor/Debugger http://www.oxygenxml.com On 10/1/2014 8:39 PM, Cwiklowski, Don wrote:
I use the standard keyboard shortcut of Alt+0151, but I'd love to see en-dashes and em-dashes added to the Entities tab.
I also tried added them in the code templates, and while it does work, it gives them the appearance of being actual elements, rather than character entities.
Thanks,
DC

Subject: [oXygen-user] Easy insertion of en/em-dash

Hi,
good text content should properly use en-dash and em-dash characters.
Easy way to type them would be similar to how auto-correction work in some editors:
Typed characters => output
- => -
-- => ? (en-dash)
--- => ? (em-dash)
---- => - (cycle back to hyphen and so on)
Has already someone implemented this as a pluging? Or would it be possible to provide this feature directly in oXygen, probably as a part of existing auto-corrections?
If answer is no, I will do it myself, but I thought that I would ask first :-)
TIA,
Jirka
