how to solve this error
This can happen when a string with quotes is copied from a RTF formatted app, such as Microsoft Word. The " quotation character is not the code version. Try deleting the current assignment in the write cell activity and type manually so that the quotes (") are of the right type. Notice the slanted quotes vs. the straight quotes in the two examples below:
“This is a quote from an RTF app”
"This is a quote from a code editor"

I've search both SO and Rstudio's community pages and failed to find aquestion, much less and answer to this annoyance I have experienced with Rstudio. (The Rstudio help pages won't let me post a second question within 12 hours of my first, which was explained as a bug.)
If I type:
(test)
... and then realize that test should be quoted, then putting the cursor at the end to test and entering a double-quote will give me two double-quotes "". It will not do this if I first enter a quote between ( and t and then it will also not give me doubling of the double-quote character at the end of `test. Why should it matter whether I first correct my error at the end of the symbol or at the beginning? Is there anything I can do to modify this quirk> It seems that a syntax aware console editor out to be able to tell when a doubling of quotes does not make sense. It's obviously making that "decision" when the quotes are entered between an open-paren and a character. Why not suppress the unhelpful behavior when it is between a character and a close-paren?
Sometimes Pages (and many other program, even text-editor) replace the single quotation mark (') with another quotation mark (‘). I write code and If copy and paste the last quotation mark I get an error.
How can I avoid this replacement?

I was working with xliff file without any issues translating one of my apps to spanish. Now all of sudden Xcode's "Export for Localization" feature has stopped working. If I go to Editor->Export for Localization nothing happens, I am asked where I want to save the xliff file but when I select a location nothing happens. If I try to do the export again I get an error message saying: "There is a localization operation in progress".
I've tried restarting Xcode and my computer to no avail. Has anybody else encountered this issue?
I just ran into the same problem! In my case, it was because the file Localizable.strings contained strings with quotes in them.
E.g. your file may contain something like this line:
"This is a “test”." = "Das ist ein "Test".";
Xcode's code highlighting will show that something is wrong:
The original English sentence works because the quotes in the string are smart quotes, but the quotes in the German translation interrupt the string and make it invalid.
This problem could be in any of your strings files, like Localizable.strings, InfoPlist.strings etc. To find lines like this in a large strings file, you can search by Regular Expression with this expression:
(".*){5}
This will find all lines that have more than 4 quotation marks. As I mentioned, smart (curly) quotes are accepted. You can use normal quotes by escaping them - so this would also be acceptable:
"This is a “test”." = "Das ist ein \"Test\".";
We recently changed our project boilerplates for using single quotes to using backticks. Working with backticks in *Storm on OSX is not as convenient as working with single quotes, thus we tried to come up with some solutions which still lack some convenience. We're looking for further ideas to find better solutions now.
How single quotes work in *Storm on OSX
typing one single quote results in two single quotes with the cursor in between ('|')
typing afterwards results in text between the single quotes ('what has been typed')
if 'surround selection on typing quote or brace' is true, selecting some text and typing a single quote results in
the text being wrapped in single quotes ('some text')
How backticks work in *Storm on OSX
typing one backtick results in one backtick (`), when pressing space you get two backticks with the cursor in between (`|`)
when typing a letter, you get two backticks with the cursor in between (`|`) except if the letter is a, e, o, u, i, then you'll get (à, è, ò, ù, ì) which is quite disturbing
when pressing space, you get two backticks with the cursor in between (`|`)
selecting some text and typing a backtick results in a backtick (`), which is also not what we'd like to have
Since a backtick is a dead key by default, I am struggled with the same issue.
Live Template
Currently I created a live template named it -- (double-dash) for a quick which prepares a backtick-surrounded string. Below you can find the settings I used for the template:
Abbreviation: --
Description: Backticks
Template text:
`$0$`$END$
Apply: JavaScript
Unfortunately PHPStorm/Webstorm does not provide a way to toggle the quote style. Similar to the case toggler (Edit -> Toggle Case)
Concerning the typing
Just use keystrokes <backtick> + <space>and type a text and you'll get `a text`.
Concerning surrounding
Create a Live Template called backticks with a content of `$SELECTION$`$END$, set the context to Javascript. Go to the keymap and search for 'Surround with Live Template'. Assign a key combination. Go back to the editor, select some text, press the just assigned
combination and press 'ENTER' to confirm selecting your 'backticks' template. This will wrap your text in backticks.
I am creating a custom code highlight for notepad++. What I want to do is the following:
some fieldnames are writen in the code with a ' in front of their name, for exampe
if 'variable = "test" then ...
I would like to highlight these words, but notepad++ does not seem to allow a delimiter starting with ' and ending with a space, not does it allow space as an escape character. Also, using ' as a keyword and enabling prefix mode has no effect. Anyone has a suggestion? Should I use another expression to let notepad recognise the space/' ?
Thanks in advance!
If you only need to highlight a single word, you can use a keyword in prefix mode. However when using single or double quotes in a keyword, they need to be escaped with a backslash. So your keyword would be:
\'
This may not be possible in notepad++. I can get the behavior you want using a character other than a single quote, like a back-tic, but it doesn't seem to work with single or double quotes. I suspect those characters are treated special within the syntax highlighter.
