Originally posted by **Patrick-Poitras** May 21, 2023 Hello. I'd like for the behavior of inserting a pair with a highlighted region to be replacing the region with the pair. That is, if I have `this is a |thing` with `thing` highlighted, I'd like the insertion of "(" to result in `this is a ()`. Currently it gives `this is a (thing)` when sp-autowrap-region is t, and `this is a ()thing` when it is nil. Delete-selection-mode is t.
