How do I stop it typing "" in the script editor, rather than just "

Thanks sooooooo much! In the script editor "Edit->Options->Bracket Completion"
No way I would have found that! These are brackets (){}[] , these are quotes "'

In this case, I don't think that 'bracket' is referring to the actual types of bracket characters, such as you typed, but any symbol character which "brackets" a word/phrase, such as when used as a transitive verb, i.e.

transitive verb
1a : to place within or as if within brackets editorial comments are bracketed news stories bracketed by commercials

Personally I find any sort of auto-completion as well as spelling
and/or grammar checking a real pain in the #$%^&*.
