"Disable auto-pairing of single quotes" without messing with Default package

[victorandree]

On Sublime Text 3, I successfully disabled auto-pairing of single quotes by overriding the relevant key bindings in my User .sublime-keymap as below. It could probably be made more refined by somehow detecting if we're editing lisps, but I'm not sure how!

// Clojure unmatching of single quotes
{ "keys": ["'"], "command": "insert_snippet", "args": {"contents": "'"}, "context":
  [
    { "key": "selection_empty", "operator": "equal", "operand": true, "match_all": true }
  ]
},
{ "keys": ["'"], "command": "insert_snippet", "args": {"contents": "'${0:$SELECTION}'"}, "context":
  [
    { "key": "setting.auto_match_enabled", "operator": "equal", "operand": true },
    { "key": "selection_empty", "operator": "equal", "operand": false, "match_all": true }
  ]
},
{ "keys": ["'"], "command": "noop", "context":
  [
    { "key": "setting.auto_match_enabled", "operator": "equal", "operand": true },
    { "key": "selection_empty", "operator": "equal", "operand": true, "match_all": true },
    { "key": "following_text", "operator": "regex_contains", "operand": "^'", "match_all": true }
  ]
}

@vicvicvic Thanks for that. Looks like you can restrict the editing to at least Clojure by adding a scope selector to the context keys, so the above becomes:

// Clojure unmatching of single quotes
[
  {
    "keys": ["'"],
    "command": "insert_snippet",
    "args": {
      "contents": "'"
    },
    "context": [
      {
        "key": "selection_empty",
        "operator": "equal",
        "operand": true,
        "match_all": true
      },
      {
        "key": "selector",
        "operator": "equal",
        "operand": "source.clojure"
      }
    ]
  },
  {
    "keys": ["'"],
    "command": "insert_snippet",
    "args": {
      "contents": "'${0:$SELECTION}'"
    },
    "context": [
      {
        "key": "setting.auto_match_enabled",
        "operator": "equal",
        "operand": true
      },
      {
        "key": "selection_empty",
        "operator": "equal",
        "operand": false,
        "match_all": true
      },
      {
        "key": "selector",
        "operator": "equal",
        "operand": "source.clojure"
      }
    ]
  },
  {
    "keys": ["'"],
    "command": "noop",
    "context": [
      {
        "key": "setting.auto_match_enabled",
        "operator": "equal",
        "operand": true
      },
      {
        "key": "selection_empty",
        "operator": "equal",
        "operand": true,
        "match_all": true
      },
      {
        "key": "following_text",
        "operator": "regex_contains",
        "operand": "^'",
        "match_all": true
      },
      {
        "key": "selector",
        "operator": "equal",
        "operand": "source.clojure"
      }
    ]
  }
]

Seemed to work for me. I guess you'd change the operator and operand for selector to regex matching as per: http://docs.sublimetext.info/en/latest/reference/key_bindings.html, to hit all manner of lisps.

The solution posted by @kavington 100% worked for me as well - I was able to use it as-is (sans bookending square brackets) within Preferences --> Key Bindings - User.
