I added a user-defined script that lets me work around this. The script is activated when I press the key `'`.
If anyone else is interested, here it is:
document.editBegin();
var range = view.selectionRange();
if ( range.isValid() ) {
view.clearSelection();
document.insertText(range.end,"'");
var c = view.cursorPosition();
document.insertText(range.start,"'");
c.column = c.column + 1;
view.setCursorPosition(c);
}
else {
document.insertText("'");
}
document.editEnd();

SUMMARY When in inline math mode (i.e. in between two `$` characters), typing a single quote (') automatically adds two single quotes ('') instead. This is undesirable since several mathematical symbols I use are defined with a single ' character and not two. I would be very pleased if someone could suggest where in the source code this feature is written, so that I could tweak/patch it myself. I tried checking several files in `src/`, specifically `src/editorextension.cpp` and `src/codecompletion.cpp` but couldn't find the piece of code that adds automatic closing brackets and quotation marks. Thanks, Abhinav STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Enable Automatic Brackets in Settings-> Configure Kile-> Editing-> Auto Brackets->Enable automatic brackets 2. Go to math mode either through a shortcut or by typing `$ $` manually. Navigate to any cursor position between the $ signs and type `'`. OBSERVED RESULT Kile automatically adds two instances of the character (`''`). EXPECTED RESULT Inline math mode should behave the same as other modes: only a single character should be added.
