Hi!
I write historical texts, so I have a lot of “xxx (5th century BCE)” or “dated to the 17th day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar” etc.
Is there a way to make Scrivener put the “th” “rd” “st” etc. into superscript automatically?
Because for some reason the shortcut ctrl+g or ctrl+up doesn’t work and it is very annoying to go to Format --> Font --> Base line --> superscript every single time.
best,
Saciel
I run into this need too. I don’t think there’s any way to automate it in Scrivener (though I don’t know what all goodies may be coming in v. 3!). I always find that the keyboard shortcut works. NB it’s a combination: Ctrl+G immediately followed by Ctrl+UpArrow. You can do that, type “th”, then do that combo again (it’s a toggle); or type the “th” and go back and select the text, then use the shortcut. Scrivener uses a lot of these Ctrl+G combos as keyboard shortcuts, for reasons on which I choose not to speculate; I just learn as many as I can.
ooooooh! It’s a combination! That explains why it worked once and never again XD thank you I will cope with that for the time being and really hope for an automatization feature in 3 
Great, glad that helped!
