  TypeRight adds a simple right-click menu for inserting typographic symbols into any text field, rich text editor or content-editable area.
  
  Stop hunting for keyboard shortcuts or copying from character maps. Right-click, pick a symbol, done.
  
  Symbols included:
  - En-dash and em-dash
  - Curly double and single quotes (open and close)
  - Single and double primes
  - Ellipsis, bullet, degree and multiplication sign
  
  How it works:
  - Right-click any text field to see the "Insert Typography" menu
  - Pick a symbol and it gets inserted at your cursor position
  - Undo with Ctrl+Z works as normal
  
  Privacy and permissions:
  - TypeRight collects no data whatsoever
  - It only activates when you right-click a text field — no background processes, no keylogging
  - It requests only the minimum permissions needed: context menus, active tab and scripting
  
  TypeRight is free, open-source and lightweight.
