Description
I'm using nvim v0.4.3 (also tested with git master), and with this plugin enabled, pressing `"` often (but not always) causes neovim to completely lock up. If I'm using the QT GUI, the mouse cursor changes to busy, and the application completely freezes. It doesn't respond to any keypresses or mouse clicks, and usually has to be killed with `SIGKILL`, as `SIGTERM` doesn't seem to do anything either.

Research direction
Reproduce the lock-up with Neovim v0.4.3 or git master, the plugin enabled, and the `"` key, including under the QT GUI. Since no file or test is named, trace the plugin's handling of that key and compare behavior with the plugin disabled. Done means the reported freeze no longer occurs and the reproduction scenario is covered by an appropriate regression check.
