Pick cursor on parenthesis insertion #384

Open imaia opened 7 years ago

imaia commented 7 years ago

I howl, when I select some text and press '(', it wraps the selection with '(' and ')'. That is great! In other editors, after doing that command (or the equivalents for [ and {), I can chose if the cursor position will be at the beginning of the selection or in its end using arrow keys. Would that behave be desirable for howl?

FWIW Ctrl-Left and Ctrl-Right both move by words. It's not quite the same thing, but it's MUCH faster to jump to the right paren than going character by character.

I'm using that at the momment @kirbyfan64, thanks.

There is also cursor-goto-brace which jumps to the matching brace. But it doesn't work if cursor is after the brace, it probably should.

As long as it trigger on one side only, else: (((x(y)+z)*u)-v) — confusion.
