Very finicky IDE.

[UnlimitedPotatoe]

I'm using Orwell Dev-C++.

Whenever I type a quote ( " <--- this ), say, to begin a cout statement, the IDE creates one in front of the cursor. At first, I thought this would be very useful as the IDE should in this case automatically surround my text with quotes whenver I begin to type output.

However, once I've typed in my text I tap the quote key to end the quote and basically I end up with two quotes at the end so that I have to manually erase one.


This is what it's like with pictures -

1. You begin writing your cout statement.

cout <<


2. You begin your quote (the IDE creates an end quote at the end automatically (I.E. Your cursor would be in between the quotes)).

cout << ""


3. You write your text.

cout << "Hello world."


4.You tap the quote key to end your quote and your end up with two quotes as follows.

cout << "Hello world.""






If there is a way to stop this from happening, how would I do it?

P.S.- This also occurs with brackets ( < > <--- These ).

From 4 I see that you type end quote (and bracket) again?
Stop typing the end quote and end ">" yourself the IDE is given you the end quote already just type between the quotes or brackets.
