Cursor position jumps to beginning of text field (div with contenteditable param) after line break
Hallo Florian,
Starting sometime end of 2020, your JS code does not longer maintain the cursor position after a Shift+Enter line break — the cursor jumps to the beginning of text field or div with contenteditable set to true.
Also happens with emoji insertion, as reported earlier by @Serhat ATALAY.
Rendering an otherwise fantastic extension unuseable for longer text entry, unfortunately.
Ping me for any debug info, I'm a JS dev as well.

Windows Application
I’m currently using your Chrome extension which works absolutely like a charm, but I was also wondering if it would ever be possible for an extension such as this one to be developed as a standalone application that would be used in the Windows environment. Currently I’m using an AutoHotkey script which is supposed to replicate the behavior of this extension outside of Chrome, which functions almost similarly to the Instant Smart Quotes extension. Of course it has its own issues, but those are what led me to inquire about the possibility of this extension becoming an application.

This extension, Opera and Blogger
Any way to get this extension to work with Blogger on Opera? It does work with Chrome very well!), but most Chrome extensions work with Opera, too. This one seems not to. I'd be happy to pay for a version that did.

Doesn't reliably work with Opera and Blogger
Just installed this and it worked flawlessly … until it didn't. Not sure what changed. But I've installed and reinstalled several times and can't get it to work again. Suggestions welcome!

Cursor jumps to beginning when inserting objects into the text box
I've been using this extension for years, and I did suggest it to some of my translator/editor friends. For the last couple of months, we've been running into a weird problem. Whenever I insert something other than text into the text field, (for example an emoji in whatsapp web client), the cursor jumps back to the beginning of the text field.
I'm mainly using this extension on a translation tool, where I need to insert tags in the text boxes (to signify a bold font, make a text hyperlink etc.) And as soon as I insert a tag, the cursor moves to the beginning of the text box, which makes it really hard to work with. It is the exact same behaviour with the whatsapp web client, which should be easier to test.
Other than this hiccup, I really love this little extension and hope to use it in the future again.

“Guillemet” quotation marks
To create French-style guillemet quotation marks, the extension requires the user to type << and >>. It would be much easier if the extension would automatically change the standard quotation mark key (“) to a guillemet, since this is the key that French-speakers actually use (MS word autocorrects “ to << for example)

Undo not working
Hi, I love the idea. However I'm using Chrome 74.0.3729.131 on Ubuntu and smart quotes interfere with Undo: it's not possible to undo past the insertion of any smart quote!

Am I doing something wrong?
Trying to turn the app ON for use in a WordPress dashboard. I clicked on the big black dot, chose a language and clicked ON. The icon changed to "OFF", and no matter what I do, I can't change it to "ON". I'm using a Toshiba Chromebook.

Em Dash/Ellipsis Bug; Suggestions
Hello.
This is actually a pretty good extension and I do enjoy using it. I do however want to mention a few things I've noticed.
There's a bug that occurs on Facebook that forces the cursor to the previous space preceding the first or second character that is typed after an em dash or ellipsis is typed, and so for instance, "...okay" would become "...kayo" or "...ayok" instead. So far this bug only occurs on Facebook and nowhere else.
The bug manifests every single time either of these characters are typed and so I hope that this can be corrected since it is quite bothersome when it occurs while typing.
One suggestion I have would be an implemented dialogue or menu of typographical characters into the extension button/menu that the user can access and select characters from that are either copied to the clipboard when selected or implemented directly into the users' text field while typing when or after the character is selected, similar to how the 'Emoji for Google Chrome' extension functions.
I noticed that while using this extension that an opening single quote is also typed when a shortened numerical year is written; i.e. "‘95" or 1995 should actually be "’95" in order to be typographically correct.
The same thing occurs textually when shortened words like "'cause" (because) or "'til" (until) are written, where the improper apostrophe is placed instead of the closing single quote.
This is one reason I mentioned the typographical character menu implementation into the extension earlier.
I do thank you however for taking the time to read my message concerning these matters, and I also hope to see the progressive development of this extension.
