@steff456 If the bug still occur when testing the above (which I really hope it does…), can you test again but with commenting these lines in the codeeditor.py :

self.editor_extensions.add(CloseQuotesExtension())
self.editor_extensions.add(CloseBracketsExtension())

And replacing this line in spyder.plugins.editor.extensions.manager.py:

return self._extensions[name_or_klass]

by

return self._extensions.get(name_or_klass, None)

Thanks!

Thanks @jproy

@steff456 I have created a PR with a proposed solution for this bug. I cannot test if this is actually working, so if you could do that, that would be really great! If this work, could you also add an animation or something in the opening post of the PR.

Thanks!
