I have another question related to this, so I'm sticking it here. Hope that's OK.

I recently tried setting the single apostrophe key on my keybaord to give a curly apostrophe in sigil because I never use a straight apostrophe and it was annoying having to always pull down the "insert special character" menu or find and replace straights with curlies after finishing a book (especially as find and replace had to be done one-by-one as sometimes the apostrophes would end up the wrong way around).

I followed the same steps for curly quotes as above. Clip 6 (in my sigil) is now a curly apostrophe, and I made the keyboard shortcut simply the apostrophe key.

It worked for a minute or two, then reverted to straight apostrophe. I tried it several times, but it stayed as a straight apostrophe.

So I even uninstalled and updated to the latest version of sigil, and tried again. Once more it worked for a little while, giving me curly apostrophe whenever I hit the apostrophe key, but then it reverted to straight apostrophe, and once again it won't go back to curly.

I'm wondering if this is some kind of bug ...?
