I am having enormous difficulties typing lisp code in Portacle, is a complete IDE for Common Lisp based on Emacs. It is trying to get cute whenever I enter a " or a ). Sometimes it breaks my code.
Scenario 1.
I had the following in the clipboard.
(substitute-in-file-name "${SystemDrive}/opt
I pasted this at the end of a line that already had the following text.
((file-directory-p
The result was the following line of text.
((file-directory-p (substitute-in-file-name "${SystemDrive}/opt
I then typed a " at the end of this line.
Portacle escaped the " so that the final result was as follows.
((file-directory-p (substitute-in-file-name "${SystemDrive}/opt\"
Portacle does similar nonsense when I try to type ).
How do I get " to simply put a " where my caret is instead of getting cute.

, I can't find another post dealing with typing individual open or close parens, This is useful especially when yanking code from a region that was mistakenly short of an open or close parentheses... I think @andrej should post his comment as an answer. – manandearth Oct 17 '18 at 21:10
