Wish Automatic operations in IDE

[Jack Cole]

There are some time saving things that could be done in the IDE to help speed the development process.

1). Automatic closed quote. When the user types a " in the IDE, it would be nice if it would automatically produce a closed quote.

2). Automatic closed parenthesis. Same as above.

3). When typing a " when text is selected, it would be good to put the quotes around the selected text rather than replacing the text with a quote.

1. When you use smart strings the start and closing are automatically presented, allowing easy insert.
2. and 3. would result in errors for me in the way I type and could lead to difficult to detect bugs

It is a common practice to do these things in most modern IDEs. If 2 is a problem, you can hit backspace or delete. If 3 is a problem, you can hit delete. Anyway, one way to handle it would be to make it where the user can turn these features on or off.
