Automatic matching for local macros about nbstata HOT 3 CLOSED

I tried C (tab autocompletion of macros after first backtick). It works!

I couldn't figure out A.

About B (automatic local macro open/close matching). This is already implemented in jupyterlab_stata_highlight2 for Jupyter Lab. Maybe there is an easy way to extend the same behavior to Notebook interface?

A. I think you should be able to disable quote matching in your Jupyter config, as a workaround for the worse part.

B. Configuring local macro open/close matching may be possible via an extension that tweaks CodeMirror (the code editor plugin used by Jupyter), but that would take some work to figure out.

C. Autocomplete in Jupyter is something a little different, properly speaking. That behavior, tab-autocompletion, is determined directly by the nbstata kernel code. And it already should provide the closing single-quote for you, as demonstrated by the test shown here:

completions_test_setup('local test_local "test value"')
test_eq(
    _complete("list `t", 7),
    ["test_local'"],
)

In other words, if you define such a local macro in a previous code cell and then, in a new code cell, start typing the following

list `t

and then hit the Tab key, it should fill in est_local' for you (or offer a dropdown if there are multiple possible completions).
