Mark Lawrence added the comment: I'd like to see this feature as I've been using IDLE quite a lot recently and I'm so used to seeing it in other IDEs. -- nosy: +BreamoreBoy versions: +Python 3.5 -Python 3.4 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue18875 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue18875] Automatic insertion of the closing parentheses, brackets, and braces
Terry J. Reedy added the comment: I have never actually used this feature, and I do not see it in Notepad++. I worry that some people, especially beginners with no experience of this 'feature' would hate this, so it would have to be optional. Do you literally mean 'parentheses' or also square and curly brackets? How about quotes? An autocloser here would be useful as Idle would not mishighlight the remainer of the text. How does it increase speed? Hitting - to skip over the closer is hardly faster that typing the closer. It might reduce errors though. Tal, any opinion on this? -- nosy: +taleinat ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue18875 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Tal Einat added the comment: I like the idea, though it's really just nice to have. This is a very common in IDEs these days, and whoever finds it annoying will be able to disable it. If we do this, we should go all the way and close square and curly brackets, parenthesis, and quotes (including triple quotes!). Also, any implementation must allow typing the closing parenthesis to actually just move the cursor beyond the automatically generated closer. Getting this right is more difficult than it sounds! But certainly possible. I actually seem to recall having seen this implemented for IDLE quite a few years ago. I might even have been the one to implement it... I can't see any mention in IDLE-Spoon, IdleX or VIDLE, though. I'll take a look through my old files when I get the chance back home. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue18875 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: I have thought about such a feature also. I would at least like to have patch to try it out. Possible?

New submission from irdb: Many other IDE's have this feature that allows automatic insertion of closing parentheses as user is typing something. I think it saves time and increases programming speed. Is it possible to have this on IDLE, too? -- components: IDLE messages: 196456 nosy: irdb priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Automatic insertion of the closing parentheses, brackets, and braces type: enhancement versions: Python 2.7 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue18875 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
