If one has a literal string with embedded single quotes (as one does with codeSample above) and one wants to edit it down to a method (imagine copying the string in codeSmaple into a Workspace to evaluate part of it) then if one selects the first embedded pair of single quotes 'a' (which will be ''a'') and types a single quote, intending to replace the double quote with a single, one now ends up with four quotes. Instead one has to copy a single quote to the copy buffer, select the pair of single quotes and use paste... to paste in the single quote. It's horrible, Try it. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">I do things like this fairly frequently. e.g. MethodMassage is a bytecode (dis)assembler framework I use to copy single methods between images without having to import an entire framework. The "interchange" format is an assemblerString, which is an evaluable expression that creates a CompiledMethod. One has to convert from the string with embedded pairs of single quotes to the expression with single quotes.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">So for me we either need a way of typing a single quote which does not enclose, or we need a one-off convert to/from literal string which does it for us.</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div id="gmail-m_-8857109971386894054__MailbirdStyleContent" style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);text-align:left" dir="ltr"><div></div><blockquote type="cite" style="border-left-style:solid;border-width:1px;margin-top:20px;margin-left:0px;padding-left:10px;min-width:500px">
