Bug 116387

Description:
 Essentialy an enhancement: 
how to add a feature that MS Office has to LibreOffice: in Greek the letter σ (which stands for s) when at the end of a word is automatically corrected to ς (known in Greek as "final s"). 
In Greek layout, σ is assigned to key S while ς is assigned to key W. The majority of users in Greece have learned to type on MS Word so W has become a somewhat dead key in Greek layout. Shaking the habit, even if someone decides to try and commit to it, can be tricky so adding this feature would boost ease of use for a big part of the Greek community.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. type any word in Greek ending in σ
2. be sure to type it using S key (corresponding to σ) not W key (which prints ς)


Actual Results:  
σ does not automatically change to ς

Expected Results:
σ should change to ς. They are essentially the same character, just the form changes when at the end of a word.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
A workaround and a solution was provided on the IRC chat at #libreoffice by @cloph:

The workaround is to search for σ\b and replace with ς (with regular expressions enabled).

The solution is to add an autocorrect entry with .*σ with ς as replacement text.

Both work like a charm so I wanted to share with the community!
