How to fix multiple punctuation mistakes in one quick fix?

[ghost]

Especially those punctuations that cannot produce from keyboard or been converted to other format such as smart quotes and m-dash.

I already read on how to fix multiple spelling errors at the same time, but I still don't know what to do.

Sometime, I catch incomplete quotes, but LTeX doesn't. Is there a way to make LTeX catch these mistake?

I often use Pandoc to convert DOCX, ODT, and HTML to MD, but it doesn't bring the punctuation (It also brings backslash in weird place). Is there a way to prevent this?

I hope you don't mind of these question, thanks.

Regarding multiple fixes at once: Just as the FAQ answer says, select all the text, press Ctrl and . (period) together (you can instead just click on the light bulb), and then select the fix you want to apply (either via keyboard or mouse).

Regarding incomplete quotes: LT_EX is basically a frontend for LanguageTool (LT), which does the actual checking. There is an LT rule EN_UNPAIRED_BRACKETS that checks for unpaired quotation marks, but it doesn't seem to be well-implemented (e.g., it doesn't work for "smart quotes", and it produced false positives, see languagetool-org/languagetool#2356). The rule doesn't work at least for me, unfortunately.

Regarding Pandoc: LT_EX can't influence what the output of Pandoc is. If LT_EX displays punctuation errors for Markdown files generated by Pandoc, either fix all the punctuation errors with a single quick fix as shown above, or disable the punctuation rule(s) by selecting Disable rule after pressing Ctrl and . (period). If you think the output of Pandoc is wrong (e.g., the backslashes you mentioned), you have to ask the people at jgm/pandoc.

As a side note: I thought about integrating Pandoc support into LT_EX to be able to spell-check formats like HTML directly without converting them to Markdown, but this is currently not possible due to technical reasons, see #91.

Wow, this answer is better than I expected, thanks.
