@birkenfeld I’m using PostgresLexer. https://github.com/dbcli/pgcli/blob/master/pgcli/main.py#L34

This is what I see when I do the double quote. You’ll see that after I type 'Michael O''Grad it highlights Michael in red which denotes it’s a string and then Grad is all gray denoting unfinished quote.
