Bug Description

I really like Scratch's bracket completion plugin, it is very useful.

Alas, a bug.

In Lua, auto completion of single quotes within double quotes is troublesome because it means that I have to erase the extra single quote when typing strings. If it were possible to have the bracket completion be smarter about it according to the language used, that would be fantastic.

For example:

validstring = "Hi there, I'm a computer program"

is currently like this with auto complete

validstring = "Hi there, I''m a computer program"

Oh, I agree. As a general rule of thumb, doing like Sublime Text does might be effective for most.

If using quotes within others quote (as in " ' " or ' " '), don't autocomplete. Otherwise, do. But then again, that is how they do it and I don't know if it conflicts with other programming languages or if it is feasible.
