• 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
  • Versions available: 1.0.0-alpha1, which works with 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
