This is a neat feature and I really wish I could get used to it. So far, no 
luck. :/

Thank you -- that did it.

I had looked in Preferences > Editing but not in Completion, and even if I did, 
I wouldn't have known what a delimiter was. (I do now.)

I guess that's the inevitable consequence of an unsophisticated user using such 
a sophisticated tool. I appreciate BBedit's many features but use only a small 
fraction of them.

Re: Duplicate quotation marks

[Bucky Junior]

Yes, David, you are correct about it being a preference. It may have been there 
for quite some time. I can’t tell you when.

Look in Preferences —>Completion —>Insert matching delimiters while typing.

Selected, it will double the double quotes, single quotes, parentheses, square 
brackets, curly brackets, and who knows what else. Oh, Barebones knows.

My preference is to have that off. I guess that’s why it is in the Preferences.

Duplicate quotation marks

[David Brostoff]

With BBEdit 12.0.2 (MacBook Pro 2017 15-inch, macOS 10.13.2, ABC - Extended 
keyboard in System Preferences), whenever I type a double quotation mark, two 
sets of double quotation marks are displayed.

In other words, when I type ", the result is "", with the cursor placed between 
the two quotation marks.

I think this started with 10.13.

Maybe a preference needs to be changed?

Thank you,

David
