Disable auto complete

[marcherm]

Whenever I type e.g. a single or double quote a second one is automatically added.

How can I disable this feature?

Is it reasonable to think that holding down a modifier key could temporarily disable this feature?

I ask because I normally want it on but there are times when I really only want to type a single quote. For example, if I'm fixing a bug, like this:

echo 'lipsum;

I need to add a single quote between the m and the semicolon. By default, two will be added.

An alternative would be to select the word that I want to have quoted and type a single quote and have BBEdit "know" that I only need it to add the single quote on the right.

Is this reasonable?

I'd have to check myself, but perhaps switching the language for the document?

This all seems very reasonable. 95% of the time the matching delimiters is really handy, but that other 5% is a little annoying. It needs some tweaking, IMO.

Oh, this Sounds like a very good idea!

I agree. After failing to find the correct setting, my next attempt at a solution had been to try the modifier keys.

I created a clipping for '. All that's in the clipping file is '. I assigned it a keystroke (control-'). That inserts a single quotation mark, without inserting the matching close single quote.

Actually, I created a whole set, including ', ", (, {, and <

They're in a zip file at https://kerri.is/coding/BBEdit_open_glyph_clippings.zip if you want to download them. To put them into action, go to BBEdit -> Clippings menu (the round C) -> Open Clippings Folder, and stick them in your Universal Items. Then open your Clippings palette, Set Shortcuts, and there you go -- you can set your own "modifier" key by deciding which one you want to use.

An example of this is biting one's butt is Python: when doing a function comment of the form,

def something():

     """

    This is what my function does

    """

    pass

the insertion of the extra " gets annoying. The "easy" behavior is "don't add an extra quote if the mode is python and there's already three in the preceding characters" but my head is spinning thinking of how to implement that.

[Bill Kochman]

Thank you VERY much for this tip. A few days ago I upgraded from BBEdit 11.6.8 to BBEdit 12, and the automatic double quotes was driving me nuts. It may serve some people's purposes, but I found it to be very annoying.

Can I *add* an autocompletion "sequence" to BBEdit's behavior?  I'm doing a lot of work with RTF files (I'm using OSX TextEdit, and then doing searches over a bunch of files with BBEdit), and would like to add an autocompletion so when I type <\'93> (open-double-quote), it would automatically insert a <\'94> (end-double-quote) and position the cursor in the middle.

I found "BBAutoComplete" (https://c-command.com/bbautocomplete/), but is there a way to add it directly without having to mess with an Applescript thing?

Thanks,

Jim

A clipping might work for this.

Someday I'll look back on all this and laugh... until they sedate me.
