Two single quotes copied in IntelliJ becomes ONE single quote when paste to other editor/terminal
Answered
Hi Jet Brains Team,
My SQL query contains two single quotes, something like XXXXXX ''__ABC__'' XXXXX, I created the SQL file and typed the query in IntelliJ.
But when I copy the query and try to paste to other places (like Sublime Text, terminal, even browser url blank.. ),
the query becomes XXXXXX '__ABC__' XXXXX, where the two single quotes become one single quote.
I think it's probably due to an unescape feature of IntelliJ?
Want to ask if there's a way I can disable the auto-change? I want to copy the string and paste the exact same one in anywhere.
Thanks!

Hi. try using Edit | Paste Simple
@Petr Your answer doesn't fit this question..
Paste Simple works for the use case that you copied text and paste INTO IntelliJ. My case is I want to copy from intelliJ and paste to other editors and the two single quotes are changed to one single quote.
I tried to reproduce the problem, with no success, could you please provide an example of the file you are copying from?
You have to use Edit -> Copy as Plain Text to copy your query. So frustrating how most strings with quotes are handled.
