so i want to use ' and -- in my code, which is embedded via \starttyping
\stoptyping, but that’s impossible.
context replaces -- with – and ' with ’. that’s wrong. i need to be able to
tell context it shouldn’t do any “smart” stuff, since i’m smart enough to
press the ’-key if i want the character ’.
so what i ask for:
1. we should change the standard behavior of context to “don’t replace
--, ' and whatnot in verbatim areas”
2. we should be able to trigger this globally, for people who have a
useful keyboard layout and can type “special” characters as fast as ascii.
is the latter already built in somehow?

Make a example where this occurs, in the following example all dashes are correct in the typing environment with mkii and mkiv.
\starttext
\startlines
-
--
---
\stoplines
\starttyping
-
--
---
\stoptyping
\stoptext

ok, sorry, \type{--} doesn’t work. (i thought i used the environment, but i
only used the macro)
it should work in \type, too, though.
