Overview

Replace typewriter quotes, apostrophes, ellipses and dashes with their typographically correct counterparts as you type.

Replace typewriter quotes, apostrophes, ellipses, dashes, and special symbols with their typographically correct counterparts as you type in text input or textarea fields. Smart Typography is the last extension you will need to write beautiful typographically correct texts. Configuration: - Quick Controls: Enable/disable and change language from toolbar. You can blacklist domains or URLs where you don't want the extension to run on - Options Page: Configure default language, sentence break dash style, and enable/disable right-click menu (right-click extension icon → Options) - Right-Click Menu (optional): Format existing text in fields via context menu All settings saved per page and synced across devices. Features - Smart Quotes: Language-specific curly quotes for over 50 languages - Advanced Apostrophe Handling: Proper apostrophes for contractions (don't, I'll, '90s) and possessives (James's) - Special Symbols: Copyright (©), trademark (™), and registered (®) from (c), (tm), (r) - Ellipses (…) from three dots - Code-Aware: Text in backticks and code blocks ignored - Foot (′) and inch (″) symbols for measurements (5'10" → 5′10″) Double-comma fix (,, → „) - Multiple spaces reduced to single space, unless those at the beginning of a line. Trailing whitespaces at line ends are trimmed. Dash Intelligence: Configurable sentence break dashes: choose em dash (—), en dash (–), or keep hyphen (-) for spaced hyphens (-) - to avoid looking like AI slop 🤖 - Em dashes (—) from three hyphens; does not replace them in lists (- text) - En dashes (–) from two hyphens, number ranges (1-5 → 1–5), or date ranges (Mon-Fri) Depending on which language you have set, the following chars will be replaced for language-specific replacements: ', ", >>, <<. ---- This extension is open-source on GitHub: https://github.com/kurtextrem/Smart-Typography.
