Description

(I'm writing in Spanish because I've read that it is encouraged to communicate wishes in your native language)

My wish concerns the Spanish source code editor (this doesn't happen in the English page editor): when you type two brackets [[o]], they don't appear as such, but rather another character ('). You have to type bracket, space, bracket, and then delete the space, and it's a pain. This hasn't always been this way; it happened after a change to the editor a few years ago. Something similar happens with the two {{ or the percentage sign %: you have to type them in Notepad, copy them, and paste them into the editor. Let's see if this can be improved. Thank you very much.
