Match right single quote (’) with standalone apostrophe (')

[Jerry]

Another helpful mapping, if it's not already added in the next release, is to match right single quote (’) with single apostrophe (') and vice versa. I encounter both of these in my vast file system.
Thanks.

Implementing support for ignoring punctuation is on my "TODO" list.

This might not be what you want as it would ignore all punctuation.
I will consider the case for just ` and '.

For more control It might be better to use regex, for example match bill's or bill`s:

Code: Select all

regex:"bill('|`)s"

With punctuation optionally ignored, will that that mean that if I enter just Bills the search will match Bill's, Bill’s, Bill,s and Bill.s, Bill-s, etc? Or does it mean if I enter either of the latter punctuated forms as the expression, it will match all the others?

Yes, bills bill's bill`s bill.s would be all equal with ignore punctuation enabled.

I will consider an option so you have to specify a punctuation to match any punctuation, eg bills would not match bill's, but bill's would match bill.s or bill...s or bill`s, as this could be useful too.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I think that makes good sense. Thanks.
