I guess I would like to chime in here as a counter-balance. I get very
frustrated with auto-closing parens, brackets, etc. Although they are very
handy at times, using a tool such as TextExpander or BBE clippings allow me to
have complete control over when they auto complete. Otherwise I find myself
constantly deleting the closing bracket etc. when using other apps. It is one
of the pluses of using BBEdit for me. And yes, my finger memory is such that
when I type a { the } and ← is almost automatically typed as well except when I
have reason not to have the closing whatever. I can understand having a
preference but quite frankly, this is Bare Bones Software, not Every Bells and
Whistles Software <grin>.
