Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy/issues/7456

Originally assigned to: @LucasXu0 on GitHub.

Description

I noticed that double dash will automatically be converted to an emdash. It was a FR from https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy/issues/3076

Please allow a toggle to disable certain autotypograph.

Impact

While this behavior is desirable for some, it is highly annoying for a DevOps Engineering using AppFlowy as his main notetaking app.

CLI commands often utilizes options denoted by --option and those double dash will be automatically converted when trying to note it down in AppFlowy

I do not think that it is a good idea to force a feature without a method to disable it

Additional Context

No response

I am on a linux system, ctrl z unfortunately doesn't do it, it reverts back to single dash -

@auggie246 , thank you for the confirmation
It's a feature that we forgot to include when supporting this auto-convert.
We'll fix it soon by enabling undo to cancel the effect.
