I guess I'm not the first one to have these problems with CKEditor, but nowhere I've found a solution so far. How can I change CKEditor so that it doesn't automatically replace special chars like German Umlaute (ä, ö, ü etc.) by HTML-Entities (& auml ; etc. ).? I'm using UTF-8 in all my websites, so this automatic replacement is absolutely not necessary. Moreover it's irritating for my German customers, and it makes searching in the database unnecessarily complicated.
Changing the file "specialchars.js" is useless, I tried this out already. But what could be the solution?
My own solution so far is to re-replace the entities again when submitting the text to the database. But in the CKEditor window itself (in source view) you have the entities again. So this is really not the best solution...

Re: HTML entities - Umlaut
Add to your ckeditor config file:
config.removePlugins = 'entities';
or
config.entities = false ;
