Emacs Init: Auto Insert Closing Bracket
electric-pair-mode
-
Toggle auto insert of closing bracket.
When on, typing any left bracket automatically insert the right matching bracket.
New in emacs 24. [see Emacs 24 (Released 2012-06)]put this in your Emacs Init File:
;; auto close bracket insertion. New in emacs 24 (electric-pair-mode 1)
Exactly which brackets are paired depends on the buffer's Syntax Table, which usually is set by current Major Mode .
If you always want certain brackets be inserted in pairs, you can customize the variable electric-pair-pairs. Its value should be a Association List.
;; make electric-pair-mode work on more brackets (setq electric-pair-pairs '( (?\" . ?\") (?\{ . ?\})))
