Comment 2 for bug 1516431

Hi,

This also affects me but I see that there are many combinations of this problem because every different set of keyboard layout, key binding and punctuation rules makes one case. As a first start and to fix my specific problem, I suggest the following rules. The outcome agrees with the Style Guide from the University of Oxford.

1)
U+00B4 (ACUTE ACCENT) with no space on the right AND space or line-feed on the left to be replaced with U+2018 (LEFT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK).

2)
U+00A8 (DIAERESIS) with no space on the right AND space or line-feed on the left to be replaced with U+201C (LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK).

3)
U+00B4 (ACUTE ACCENT) with no space on the left AND space or end-of-line on the right to be replaced with U+2019 (RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK).

4)
U+00A8 (DIAERESIS) with no space on the left AND space or end-of-line on the right to be replaced with U+201D (RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK).

5)
U+00B4 (ACUTE ACCENT) between letters (no matter if upper or lower case) or numbers or a combination of letter or number to be replaced with U+2019 (RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK)

Thanks, cheers,

Simon
