Option to disable auto-close quotes (especially in Markdown) #24

Description

Setting to turn off auto close quote, or maybe just turn it off in md files

Claude Opus 4.6's Interpretation

Auto-close pairs are hard-coded in Editor.AUTO_CLOSE_PAIRS (src/pad/app.py:959). There's no setting to disable them. Quote auto-closing is particularly annoying in Markdown where you're writing prose, not code.

Possible solutions

  • Add a setting to disable auto-close entirely
  • Disable auto-close quotes for Markdown/prose file types (md, qmd, txt) while keeping brackets
  • Make AUTO_CLOSE_PAIRS configurable per file type
