And then users will have to change the default lfun every time they want to switch quotation marks? This is most user unfriendly. BTW this would also mean they would also need to change the lfun when switching from (static) guillemets to (static) inverted commas for German, since this uses the same principle (change of default lfun behavior). > > > What about having quote-insert input dynamic quotes by default > > > except > > > in > > > foreign language? > > > > I don't see how this is connected to foreign languages. > > Your own argument why static quotes are still needed was about > foreign > language. I said it is _one_ reason where they might be needed. I did not say that it is the only one, neither that language change always entails quote style change. You cannot make a one-for-all rule here, hence the user must be able to set it on document level. > So, here are two suggestions for improving dynamic quotes, > good enough (AFAIU) to be a default behaviour, sparing the need for a > document setting.
