# Toggle Quotes VSCode Extension

`cmd '` (`ctrl '` on win/linux) will cycle the first quote pair found (from the start/end of the section) through the following sequence:

- Typescript, JavaScript, Markdown, Go, Svelte: `"` to `'` to `
- Any other files: `"` to `'`
- Also available different start and end of wrap characters: `<`/`>`, `[`/`]`, `«`/`»` etc. (thanks to [@dirondin](https://github.com/dirondin) )
- Customizable, see below.

**IMPORTANT**: By design, what is selected will be ignored by the toggle logic, and the quote match will be from the start and end of the selection. This allows dead-simple code and maximum user flexibility to select what needs to be excluded. So the `toggle` will start to find the matching from the start and end of the selection.

For example, assuming `[` is start of selection and `]` end of selection.

```
example "with s[ome other] text" and more
<-- -->
```

The quote match will happen from start selection going left and end selection going right. Toggle Quotes support multiple selections applying the same rule for each.

**A Note On Keyboard Shortcuts**: Quote keys on keyboard layouts are a special kind of tricky, because they vary a lot on keyboard layouts. They can have sticky keys, double press alternatives, mandatory modifiers or just plain different meanings. Is your layout International, Alternative-International, Nordic or something that doesn't seem to be working by default, you should configure a shortcut that works for you. Go to _Keyboard Shortcuts_ > _Toggle Quote_ and enter your own keybinding. For example, press `Ctrl` + `Shift` + `'` and accept whatever character will show up.
