I think that in word-processing programs, it has to do with whether
there is a preceding space or not; it has to be a little more
complicated than that, since you might have something preceded and
followed with parentheses like ("blah, blah, blah...."), but focusing on
the absence/presence of a preceding space takes care of the bulk of the
situations.
I wonder if there could be key-mapping to use Alt-', Ctrl-', and
Shift-Alt-', Shift-Ctrl-', since as far as I know these aren't used for
anything else.
Is there a way to use Scripter to modify the contents of the text frame?
(ie, are there commands in Scripter to do this?)
Ultimately, it would seem there could be a toggle to turn on/off
quotation mark subs, with modifiers to choose what you want to substitute.
