question | feature request: pull existing paren up when entering final paren

[TLINDEN]

This is just a question if smartparens supports this feature or a feature request if it doesn't:

I am currently still using electric-pair-mode just because of this feature. Given the following code (| denoting point):

(defun blah()
  (message "foo"|
  )

When I now enter ) in electric-pair-mode it doesn't insert a paren but instead pulls the already existing paren up to where it should be instead of inserting an additional paren:

(defun blah()
  (message "foo")|

This doesn't work when I disable electric-pair-mode. In fact, an additional paren will be inserted which results in unbalanced parens.

Would be great if this could be achieved with smartparens.

This should be default in lisp modes. It's configured via sp-navigate-reindent-after-up. This makes sp-up-sexp also reindent the closing paren if necessary.

To make ) act as sp-up-sexp, you can use the strict mode (smartparens-strict-mode) which adds some other features though, or you can remap ) to sp-up-sexp. This is not that crazy because you should rarely need to insert the closing pair manually, and if necessary, C-q ) can insert it literally.

Mapping ) to sp-up-sexp works like a charm! Thanks a lot for the help!
