In a nutshell, I propose that ", /, = and ~ be assigned to the syntax class "paired delimiter", which is $. (This would allow electric-pair-mode to work with them.)
The definition of org-mode as a derived mode contains the following lines: (modify-syntax-entry ?@ "w") (modify-syntax-entry ?\" "\"") (modify-syntax-entry ?\\ "_") (modify-syntax-entry ?~ "_") What is the rationale behind the choices for ~ and "? It feels to me like both should be assigned class "paired delimiters" (i.e., class $). I would also expect / and = to be paired delimiters, but maybe I'm missing some subtlety. (I guess * is a paired delimter in a sense, too (because it is used for bold), but since it is used for headings it would probably be too confusing to modify its syntax class.) -- Omar
