This functionality is a good thing. However, I'm a little bit afraid that people reinvent the wheel in lots of places. For example, why shouldn't C programmers be able to take advantage of this? There is a package in Emacs already that allows paired insertion of parentheses. Maybe it is sufficient to augment this package with doing newline and indentation? "(autotype)Inserting Pairs" is the right info node, I believe. Hm. Of course, your functionality is different: you pair the brace only on the subsequent newline. Hm. So maybe skeleton-pair is not the right feature after all. But still, why shouldn't other programmers also benefit? Kai
