I think you should either make the quotation marks ('"') work at least as well as in Java or make the editor just do what I type. Making them _somewhat_ clever is pretty annoying. Type "aaa" then delete the last ", type it again you get "aaa"". More complex: I am trying to write a String that contains: I say: "Hi!", you say "Bye!". I have to escape the " so it will look like: "I say: \"Hi!\", you say \"Bye!\"." I start typing "I say|" - so far so good. When I have "I say: \|" and I press " it does not add anything. I type on to "I say: \"Hi\| now I type " and it will add "". In short, typing every odd " at the end of string literal will be ignored, every even " will be added twice.
Reproducible. I will look at it.
Fixed in build 682.
Verified.
