Re: electric-pair, autopair, smartparens, etc in org-mode

[Roland Everaert <reveatwork@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I use the following configuration:

    ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; parenthèses, accolades et brackets ;;;;;;
    (setq skeleton-pair t)
    (global-set-key "[" 'skeleton-pair-insert-maybe)
    (global-set-key "{" 'skeleton-pair-insert-maybe)
    (global-set-key "(" 'skeleton-pair-insert-maybe)
    (global-set-key "\"" 'skeleton-pair-insert-maybe)
    (global-set-key "'" 'skeleton-pair-insert-maybe)

This will only close the defined characters.


Hope this will help.

Roland.
