Because otherwise it would break syntax highlighting until you finish writing the string. And no, sorry, I like my syntax highlighting, I won't turn it off.

This feature is useful for me. So are LLMs. If someone doesn't want to use this or that, they are not obliged to. But don't tell me that features that I find useful "suck".

You can always insert the second " as a ghost(?) character to keep syntax highlighting working. But it's not like any modern language server really struggles with this anyways.


Sad this is downvoted, because syntax highlighting is a very plausible explanation for this editor behaviour.

You can perhaps imagine an editor that only inserts the delimiter if you type the start-string symbol in the middle of a line.
