I'd suggest having punctuation keys work identically whether the caret is at the end of word N or at the beginning of word N+1.

so if the pipe character here represents the caret, then when the caret is in that location, the shortcuts will properly break those words into sentences.

I would like it to work similar when editing captions and transcripts.

When editing captions in EasyCapEd your main position is always at a word. That is the unit of interest there, so to say.

So you can choose to put the punctuation after the current word or before it. There are no other choices that works all the time in the captions.

To me it feels much more intuitiv to put end a sentence after the current word than before it. It is similar to the flow of the text.

I suggest it should work the same way when editing a transcript

I have removed the transcript editor for now. I am waiting for the new JavaScript DOM/API that allows more control over editing. I have added a test for this (which you can find in the help popup). So far my tests shows that it is not ready for use yet. Or, should I say "it is a mess, currently".

You can't edit transcripts in EasyCapEd now. It, rather, you can, but the editing is the same as for caption.

However you do not need a video any more. You can use a sound file.
