Enable automatic insertion of closing quotes inside function calls

Problem Description

I want the same behaviour as in jupyter notebook of automatic closing of quotes. I change the setting of spyder editor to enable automatic insertion of closing quotes.

It works fine while typing in the editor but does not works inside functions.

Could you help me how to resolve this issue!?

What steps will reproduce the problem?

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Paste Traceback/Error Below (if applicable)

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

a = np.linspace(0,10,2001)
b = np.cos(a*np.pi)

plt.plot(a, b)
plt.title(') # does not work here: only opening quotes

'' # works here: automatically closes the quotes

No but after it’s merged I can look at refactoring to make one function work for both extensions

@Khalilsqu A leading character? According to my tests and confirming @ccordoba12 's suspicion above, it was the trailing character that was the problem, not the leading one.
