Community Wishlist Survey 2017/Editing/Find & Replace feature

Random proposal ►◄ Editing

Find & Replace feature

Problem: It is hard to observe wrong punctuation
Who would benefit: every Visual Editor user
Proposed solution: Create a button in the Visual Editor in the Find & Replace dialogue to mark non-typographic Quotation marks, non-typographic apostrophes, wrong dashes and double spaces etc and then the editor can decide whether it has to be changed or not.
