Hi Thien,

thanks.

Have a question:

What about "'"

Is there a way to discriminate it verbally from your chars?

Maybe have look for example at

ar-singlequote-alnum-atpt, from

https://code.launchpad.net/~a-roehler/s-x-emacs-werkstatt/thing-at-point-utils.el

Should I rename it?

Thanks again

Andreas
