Dear oflb,<br>
<br>
a bit off-topic.<br>
<br>
As I&#39;m starting to use more and more Ubuntu, I wonder: how to easily make<br>
typographers quotes, ellipses and en and em dashes. Can anyone recommend me<br>
a script or shortcut?<br>
<br>
On the Mac there are handy keystrokes:<br>

<br>
I use them all the time, in the web browser, in the terminal--it just feels<br>
wrong to have &#39;dumb&#39; (&lt;- like these) quotes and ... in stead of a proper<br>
ellips character...<br>
<br>
thanks,<br>
<br>
Eric<br>
