Switch between single and double quote

Switch between single and double quote

[anlek]

I'd love to see sublime-ToggleQuotes in vsCode!

[Ciantic]

I would like to toggle also between backticks (`) since those are required for variable substitution in JavaScript, e.g.

`string text ${variable} string text`

My suggestion is to not add a new command, but make it cycle between all three quote styles ", ' and `

[dbankier]

Yep. I like the idea. Should be simple to implement. I had that the other day when wanting to change an json object to array.

I just need to think through the flow.
For example, ctrl + " highlights the text inside the quotes (like it does now). Then if followed by ctrl + ', since there is already a selection, it replaces the " to '.

Sound good?

[dbankier]

@koskoci this is an extension. Search for "Quick and Simple Text Selection"

[okian]

I think we don't need to specify two combinations of keys and it's better to think it just as string. I mean for example ctrl+' ( " needs to holding shift too ) select both 'string' and "string" and pressing ctrl+' again will switch between single and double quotes and so on. this idea can expand to other functionalities, I mean why we need two different key for selecting inner and outer? I personally prefer to pressing once to select inner and pressing it again to select outer (and pressing again expand to parent inner) and ideally the other key doing it reverse (from outer to inner) it's easier to remember and much efficient for using remaining keys on keyboard. ;)

Here's the same plugin for Sublime https://github.com/colinta/SublimeChangeQuotes

You can put your cursor inside the text that is in quotes and then execute the command to replace the quotes. No selection needed. Works with cmd+shift+' by default.

Hope this can also be adopted to vscode.

@raldred I've got the last version and I got

You sure that's it?

Have you thought about adding the ability to change to backticks? I primarily use JavaScript, and in the era of ES6, I find myself having to utilize all 3 methods of quotes quite often and have yet to find a plugin that allows changing to backticks. I feel like this plugin is 90% of the way there

[dbankier]

Sure. Will do.

Just set the shortcut yourself? I think the action required for mapping is called extension.switchQuotes mentioned in the readme.

[batamire]

@doplumi release CMD after CMD+K, before ;

[dbankier]

hmm... I hear.

[wmaurer]

There's another extension available which allows to switch between single and double quotes:
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=vilicvane.es-quotes

[wprater]

would be nice if there were a more universal feature to swap single <-> double quotes in all text grammars.

[cuevven]

Here's the same plugin for sublime https://github.com/spadgos/sublime-ToggleQuotes

Make one or more selections of strings including their quotes and then press the opposite quote mark. That is, if you have "test" press ', if you have 'test', press ".

[dbankier]

This is now fixed and published. You will probably want to change the shortcuts...

[anlek]

This is a great step forward, thank you!

[anlek]

Just tested it, it works like a dream! Thank you so much!

[almadsen]

How to use it, cause I can't find anything about it in vs code?

[raldred]

@almadsen
OSX: cmd + k then ;
Windows: ctrl + k then ;

[koskoci]

I can't get this to work. Do I need to install an extension? Thanks!

[koskoci]

@dbankier Thanks, works like a charm!

[raldred]

Pretty sure it's a simple addition. Create a PR maybe?

@raldred yeah for sure, I was mainly asking if it was something that was considered or even wanted with this plugin. I don't wanna put in time adding it if it doesn't align with the goal of the plugin

[kristofmulier]

I always get this:

The key combination (Ctrl+K, Ctr+K) is not a command.

Whatever I try:

I'm working on Windows 10 with the latest version of VSCode (v1.62.0) and latest version of the Quick and Simple Text Selection plugin (v0.2.9)
