Description

This layer provides support for typographic text editing in Spacemacs. It provides modes to automatically insert and cycle among typographic characters:

• Typo Mode automatically inserts and cycles among typographic Unicode characters on some keys.
• Tildify Mode automatically inserts non-breaking spaces where required. (Only available on Emacs 25).

Install

To use this configuration layer, add it to your ~/.spacemacs. You will need to add typography to the existing dotspacemacs-configuration-layers list in this file.

Typographic editing however is disabled by default. To enable it by default set typography-enable-typographic-editing to t:

  (setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
                '(typography :variables typography-enable-typographic-editing t))

This setting enables automatic insertion of non-breaking spaces where required and automatic insertion and cycling among of typographic quotes and dashes.
