Using surround to change into typographic quotes work. The other way around doesn't

[rafaeln]

When you have 'something' and you do cs'q on it, you do get “something”, but when you have “something” and you do csq' on it, you don't get any change.

I'll see if I can reproduce this. Thanks.

I'm on vim 8.0 and getting the same error

[Porges]

Also: dsq/dsQ don't work.

I finally installed Tim Pope's surround plugin after not using it for a few years.

Changing from straight to curly works, but the reverse does not. So I'm seeing the same thing you are.

My apologies, as it's been so long since I last dealt with this that I can't even recall if it did work both ways. However, if somebody wants to dig into this and get it working, I'd be happy to accept a pull request.

After looking at the code it seems like surround.vim doesn't support this... I could have sworn it used to work! 🙂

Here's the issue on surround: tpope/vim-surround#210

[alerque]

This works for me now. I have no idea when or how the fix took place — maybe it's my fork of tpope's pluign?

Is anybody else still experiencing this?

[telemachus]

I'm inclined to close this. (Nearly two years without any responses.)

[alerque]

Yup. Still no repro here. If anybody is still having this issue please comment and we'll review your situation.

Hate to re-open this right after it was closed, but I'm having this issue. vim-surround commit baf89ad, vim-textobj-quote commit 7ce5b32, vim-textobj-user commit 41a675d.

[alerque]

@andrew-vant Fair enough. I'm guessing you are a victim of tpope/vim-surround#210, you can try my fork here. I'm guessing that's why I can't repro this.

[telemachus]

Should we add a test for this? Or is it something that we can't fix,
so testing for it effectively doesn't matter?

I haven't used surround in years (I use vim-sandwich instead,
which—as a side note—I recommend very highly), but I will try to
look into this when I can, though it sounds like we can't
fix it from our end.
