That's fairly easy to adapt, please try the following version from

�- try to be smarter with smart characters

Thanks for the that - it's getting there. A couple of issues:

* The change appears to have introduced odd delete behaviour. When I delete a character within smart quotes, a character *and* the ending smart quote is deleted - different behaviour to prior to your change,

* If I enter: �(' � in Eclipse when I type: �') it skips over both the closing ' and the closing ).

Apologies for my pedantry.�
