Brief description:

Have you ever wanted CKEditor to autocorrect symbols
like the copyright mark, the “not equals” sign, and
fractions, from their text equivalents? There’s a module
for that



Module name/project name:

CKEditor Text Transformation / AutoCorrect



Brief history

How old: created in Mar 2024 by Gedvan Dias of Redfin
Solutions

CKeditor 4 on Drupal 8, and 2.0.0-alpha1, which works with
CKEditor 5 on Drupal 9 and 10



Maintainership

Actively maintained, was released just a few weeks ago

Not much documentation of its own, but the module
leverages CKEditor’s Automatic text transformation, which
has a fair bit of documentation on CKEditor.com

Number of open issues: only 1 open issues, which is the
Project Update Bot’s automatically-created Drupal 11
compatibility issue



Usage stats:

8 sites



Module features and usage

By default the module enables four categories of
transformations: 'symbols', 'mathematical', 'typography',
and 'quotes'

You can override the module’s plugin if you want a
different set enabled, but the module also provides a hook
you can use to alter the active sets or define custom
transformations, similar to using emojis in Slack, for
example
