The following combos are meant to help content authors with typing typographically. Special thanks to https://tgm-online.de/blog/sonderzeichen and https://github.com/WhistlingZephyr/espanso-package-quotes. These combos output the same glyphs InDesign does. Special care was taken to use the proper dashes and spaces to maintain workflow in InDesign without having to navigate the menus to find the glyphs.
Download the *.json files of the combos you want and import them into Beeftext from the Combos menu.

1: If your keyboard layout uses the backtick/grave key as a dead key only, you will have to work around that for these Beeftext keywords. If, for instance you use the German keyboard layout, you could switch to the E1 layout. This package of combos is a beginner’s introduction to the E1.
