Clojure has a special meaning for single quote

[ClashTheBunny]

A single quote should not be duplicated in clojure. It's used as shorthand for "(quote". It's very annoying to be programming away and have to delete a bunch of single quotes. It doesn't even give that great of a syntax error, because it is often interpreted as a correct first quote.

Here's the section in Clojure for the Brave and True:

Notice that Clojure only allows double quotes to delineate strings. 'Lord Voldemort', for example, is not a valid string.

This behavior is actually provided by the https://github.com/atom/bracket-matcher package so if you want to disable it, you can disable it by unchecking Autocomplete brackets from the settings view for now until the behavior is fixed there.

No longer blocked. Just needs a change in the settings file now.

@50Wliu what's the status on this feature/correction?

[winstliu]

Turns out in order to change there's no way to selectively remove a single character from the default settings. Which means in order for this to be fixed the default settings need to be copied over, but without the '. This is fine for people who haven't modified the default autocompletion characters, but for people who have, their settings won't take effect when editing Clojure files.

I haven't figured out yet how to preserve the balance between fixing this and attempting not to disrupt unrelated pair completions.
