Hey there,

is it possible to customize the option templates one can insert via
`C-c C-e #' ?  E.g. for productively composing letters it would be nice
to have some of the listed options to be set differently from the default.

Regards

I don't think it would be interesting to allow customization since you
might as well create your own template insertion function.

OTOH, hard-coding the order of options doesn't work so well for
back-ends, so the template could, at a bare minimum, follow the order
specified in `org-export-define-backend'. I'll look into it.

I just looked at `org-export-define-derived-backend' and saw all the
org-koma-letter-* options -- this will ease most of the pain ;-)

But I did not yet figure out how to set options like
LATEX_CLASS_OPTIONS or how to use German language and smart quotes when
composing a letter.

Thanks and regards

Some people, notably Viktor and Alan, rely on LCO files for such
things.  You can place LCO files somewhere in the texlive/miktex path
and load them via #+LCO: file1 file2 . . ..

Write your own template.  ox-koma-letter has supported it's own
standard template (as compared to the default LaTeX template) for a
while now.  A description on how to use this feature is included in
the preamble of the file.

If you insist on not having "non-file-based" customizations use
something like Emacs skeletons or yasnippet (not part of Emacs) to
generate templates.

Did you turn on smart quotes?

  (setq org-export-with-smart-quotes t).

It works on my system with ox-koma-letter.

Hope it helps,
Rasmus

Done in master.  I also reordered keywords in back-ends.
