Positron Version:

Positron Version: 2024.06.1 (system setup) build 2024.06.1-27 Code - OSS Version: 1.90.0 Commit: a893e5b282612ccb2200102957ac38d3c14e5196 Date: 2024-06-26T01:33:58.809Z Electron: 29.4.0 Chromium: 122.0.6261.156 Node.js: 20.9.0 V8: 12.2.281.27-electron.0 OS: Windows_NT x64 10.0.22631

Steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Open a (markdown) document
  2. Type thing
  3. Select the text "thing".
  4. Type [
  5. Note cursor location
  6. Type ]
  7. Note mess

vs

  1. Open a markdown document
  2. Type [
  3. Type thing
  4. Type ]
  5. Note cursor location

What did you expect to happen?

  1. When I select text and type [, the text should be wrapped in [] (correctly occurs), and the cursor should be placed to the right of the ] (so I can then type ( and provide a url).
  2. When I encounter a ] and type ], my cursor should move to the right of the ] without adding a new ].

Were there any error messages in the output or Developer Tools console?

No.

Perhaps this requires an extension beyond the Quarto extension? It doesn't feel like it should.

Thanks for logging this issue, I was able to reproduce the issue in a Python cell of a Quarto markdown document.

Note that it also seems to happen in VS Code and in other languages. In RStudio, the first case collapses to [].
