Formatter/ Linter: Quote consistency

[GutiCW]

If I configure them as single quotes, I wouldn't expect any string being wrapped in double quotes (simple or tripled).

Wouldn't it be more consistent to always force the according quotes?
E.g., single quotes: If it contains ' -> format to tripled single quotes ''', else simple single quote '.

I'm unsure I fully understand the question, especially regarding the formatter consistency.

The formatter uses " if a string contains a single quote (') because it requires less space (2 quotes instead of 6). Triple-quoted strings are also primarily used for docstrings or multiline strings. It's also aligned with what many formatters of other ecosystems do and, therefore, is familiar to many users.
