The only time smart quotes should be avoided is when writing code, but NV isn’t primarily a text editor for programmers. BBEdit and TextWrangler are good examples of how this can be done. One potential issue: this would likely need to be a global preference in NV, unlike the apps mentioned which can toggle the preference for individual documents."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/scrod/nv/issues/comments/117171216","html_url":"https://github.com/scrod/nv/issues/265#issuecomment-117171216","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/scrod/nv/issues/265","id":117171216,"user":{"login":"kimslawson","id":249884,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/249884?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/kimslawson","html_url":"https://github.com/kimslawson","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kimslawson/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kimslawson/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kimslawson/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kimslawson/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kimslawson/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kimslawson/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kimslawson/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kimslawson/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kimslawson/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-06-30T13:05:22Z","updated_at":"2015-06-30T13:05:22Z","body":"Agreed on the need for this. In [another issue](https://github.com/scrod/nv/issues/120) closed mid-2011, the missing “Edit > Substitutions” menu was mentioned, with an assertion by @scrod that the toggle “Use Automatic Text Replacement” enables the default substitution behaviors. I am not sure this is true anymore, as I've tested it on my system running OS X 10.10.3 and Notational Velocity version 2.0 β5 (8) and it's not working. Can anyone confirm this?"}}
