I can't type the right apostrophies and quotes in Wordbee anymore

Since I updated my Browser (Firefox) I can't type french apostrophies and quotes ( ’ and «») from my keyboard (AZERTY or QWERTZ) anymore. I tried with Chrome, it doesn't work either. I don't have this problem with other applications.

I want to type them directly from my keyboard, as shortcuts and special characters take too much time.

Should I change any parameters in Wordbee? Which ones?

  Hello Geneviève,

  You should be able to configure your AutoCorrect settings from the Smart Assistant settings down here :

  

  This will open a configuration panel where you can set if apostrophes and quotes should be auto replaced with other characters :

  

  Make sure that the correct locale is selected.

  I hope that this helps. Have a nice day.

  Kind regards,

  Alex

  Hi Geneviève,

  That looks really convenient! does it work for you? I use <CTRL>+<SHIFT>+<P> to get the Special Characters selection window. I find it is pretty fast, but if the AutoCorrect function works well, that would be even better.

  Thanks Daniel, that is pretty useful anyway.

  I've now had the time to try the autocorrect method: It is really good and fast.

  Dear Daniel, sorry, I hadn't had time to test it and answer you: everything works fine. Thank you!
