--- Comment #8 from Regina Henschel <rb.henschel at t-online.de> ---
German typographical apostrophe is U+2019, looks like an upper comma.

There are some ideas now:
A Detect, if the to be replaced straight apostrophe U+0027 is not inside a
single quotation and not after a starting single quotation. I think, that might
work for entering new text at the end of a document, but it will be difficult
when edit an existing text.

B If the to be replaced U+0027 sign is inside a word, then replace it with a
typographical apostrophe. That would not catch all cases for a typographical
apostrophe, but would be better than the current situation.

C Provide a short cut for entering a typographical apostrophe, independent from
keyboard layout and locale. Same for other characters, needed for other
languages, perhaps allow user to customize it. I know, that Linux has means to
customize keyboard layout, but those do not exist on Windows.

I hope, Eike can tell, which is indeed a practical idea.
