2 10 7.2 Python

Substitute alternative spellings of special characters (e.g. German umlauts [ae, oe, ue] and [ss]) with their correct versions (ä, ö, ü, ß).

Project mention: Ask HN: What apps have you created for your own use? | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-12

meaning it not only replaces Umlauts and Eszett, it also knows when not to (Poeten), and handles arbitrary compound words. Write your text, slap it all into the tool, it spits out results instantly. The original text can use alternative spellings (ou, ae, ue, ss), which is ergonomic. Combined with tools like AutohotKey, GUI integration through a single keyboard shortcut is possible. See [0] for a similar example.
A niche need I haven't yet come across someone else having as well! (just the amount of text explaining what it's all about is saying a lot in terms of specificity...)
The tool now grew into a tree-sitter based (== language grammar-aware) text manipulation thing, mostly for fun. The bizarre German core is still there however.
