Autocompletion duplicates quotes

[sebastian-blandon]

Hi there!

When writing code like (see line 330):

and triggering autocomplete (via Tab or selecting from the suggestion list), Positron inserts:

That is, it duplicates the quotes even though I'm already inside a string. This breaks the syntax and requires manual cleanup each time.

Expected Behavior
When typing inside an open string (e.g., df_1["pri), autocompletion should only complete the text, not insert additional quotes, as the user has already opened the string.

Is there anything I could do? I checked out the Text Editor settings, but I didn't find the solution.

Can you a bit more about how you get into this situation, especially with only the one quote to start with? We have " as an autoclosing pair meaning that if you type one, you get two with your cursor in between them. I am having a hard time getting into a situation with one quote, or getting completions at all if I am in a situation like df["pri].
