Hey gurus,
I often encounter electric-pair-mode inserting unnecessary quotation
marks on GNU Emacs 24.0.94.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.24.9) of 2012-03-01.
Recipe:
emacs -q
C-x b RET # we are in *scratch* now
M-x electric-pair-mode RET
"test C-d # at this point the line at point should read `"test
"
the line at point now contains "test"". I think electric-pair-mode
should be smarter here, do a little backtracking, and just insert one
quote.
This is a feature request and not a real bug, of course.
Christopher

You mean that it should not pair up the quotes if we're already within quotes?
I guess that would make sense in programming-mode buffers.

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately got little response at
the time.)
I'm unable to reproduce this problem in Emacs 25 or more recent versions
of Emacs, but I'm not sure I totally understand the recipe: I end up
with a line reading
"test"
which is what I expect. Are you still seeing this issue in recent Emacs
versions?

Lars, as an fyi electric-pair-mode was completely, or mostly, rewritten by
me circa 2014. So this bug report is probably stale now...

Right. I'll leave the bug open a bit longer, though, to see if the
original reporter responds.

More information was requested, but no response was given within a
month, so I'm closing this bug report. If the problem still exists,
please respond to this email and we'll reopen the bug report.
