ChangeQuotes

============

Converts single to double or double to single quotes.  Attempts to preserve correct escaping, though this could be improved I'm sure.

Installation

------------

1. Using Package Control, install "ChangeQuotes"

Or:

1. Open the Sublime Text Packages folder

    - OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/

    - Windows: %APPDATA%/Sublime Text 3/Packages/

    - Linux: ~/.Sublime Text 3/Packages/ or ~/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages

2. Clone this repo

### Keymaps

Put the following inside your `.sublime_keymap` (`Sublime Text` -> `Preferences` -> `Key Bindings`):

`{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+'"], "command": "change_quotes" }`

Now you can toggle quotes with `CTRL`+`Shift`+`'`.

How to use

----------

Put your cursor inside the text that is in quotes and then execute the command to replace the quotes. No selection needed.

How to customize

----------------

Different languages have different quotes, and this plugin tries to support them all!

Open up `ChangeQuotes.sublime-settings` to see the default config.  You can get

there from the menu bar:

```Preferences > Package Settings > Change Quotes > Settings - Default```

There are two per-language settings you should pay attention to:

`prefixes` - This helps with the string searching; in python, a string can start

with an identifier like `u` or `r`, and these will be "skipped" when changing

quotes.

`quotes` - This list-of-lists defines all the quote characters that can be

cycled.  If you are using ES6, and want to add support for backtick-strings /

interpolation-strings, you just need to add the backtick character to this list!

```json

// without backtick-strings:

"source.js": {

  "quotes": [["'", "\""]]

}

// with backtick-string support (ES6-only):

"source.js": {

  "quotes": [["'", "\"", "`"]]

}

```

Commands

--------

`change_quotes`: Converts from single to double quotes.  Uses the Sublime Text

grammar parsing, so it doesn't always "find" the quotes, for instance MarkDown

doesn't define special "string" syntax, and so this plugin can't be used.  The

upside is we don't have to write / maintain a complex matching quote algorithm.
