quote-flipper README

The quote-flipper extension performs one function: it toggles the quotes surrounding the cursor position between single and double quotes.

Features

When this extension is run, the text is searched for enclosing single or double quotes. If matching quotes (on the same line) are found, the quote type is toggled.

Requirements

None.

Extension Settings

None.

This extension adds extension.quote-flipper which could be mapped to a keystroke combination, perhaps Ctrl+Alt+'.

Known Issues

None.

Just a comment, however, on using this extension on text with both types of quotes. If you have text like this...

'This is another "Hello World" type |of program.'

...and the cursor position is placed somewhere around the word "of", the result is like this:

"This is another "Hello World!" type |of program."

Doing it again, without moving the cursor, comes up with a different selection of text to toggle:

"This is another "Hello World!' type |of program.'

New Features Under Consideration

• Cycling through more types of enclosures (perhaps user-defined) such as parentheses, brackets, braces, etc.
• Detect the above nested quote scenario and do not process
