Documentation

Non-nil if Electric-Quote mode is enabled.

See the electric-quote-mode(var)/electric-quote-mode(fun) command for a description of this minor mode. Setting this variable directly does not take effect; either customize it (see the info node (emacs)Easy Customization) or call the function electric-quote-mode(var)/electric-quote-mode(fun).

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 25.1.

  "Toggle on-the-fly requoting (Electric Quote mode).

When enabled, as you type this replaces \\=` with ‘, \\=' with ’,
\\=`\\=` with “, and \\='\\=' with ”.  This occurs only in comments, strings,
and text paragraphs, and these are selectively controlled with
`electric-quote-comment', `electric-quote-string', and
`electric-quote-paragraph'.

Customize `electric-quote-chars' to use characters other than the
ones listed here.

This is a global minor mode.  To toggle the mode in a single buffer,
use `electric-quote-local-mode'."
