Hello everyone,

I stumbled a couple of times across a behaviour by
‘electric-quote-mode’ where it replaces two consecutive single
electric quotes with a single double quote. To see what I mean open
‘emacs -Q’, enable ‘electric-quote-mode’ and ‘text-mode’, then hit `
or ' twice. I find it more annoying than helpful so I changed
‘electric-quote-post-self-insert-function’ to make it check an option
that can disable this behaviour. Do you think it can be included in
Emacs?

Best of wishes,
Andrea

Makes sense to me, so I've now pushed your change to Emacs 29 (with some
changes to the doc string to conform to our conventions).

This change was small enough to apply without assigning copyright to the
FSF, but for future patches you want to submit, it might make sense to
get the paperwork started now, so that subsequent patches can be applied
speedily. Would you be willing to sign such paperwork?

Hi Lars, I've already done the paperwork.
Thanks for taking care of the patch.
