Well, one could argue that typing „)“ would be the ideal shortcut for this
endeavor - easy to type, easy to remember. It is my experience that I’m not
leaving every bracket to the right, so I would disagree, that the feature has a
„zero-effect“. It is a great help when scaffolding complex statement structures
and get in danger of getting lost in the count of open bracket structures (JSON
I’m looking at you).
That said, BBEdit (of course) offers ways to tweek it to your liking. The
easiest way may be a small Applescript that resembles the search for „closing
characters“. Something like this should work. Save it to your Script Folder and
give it a shortcout in the Preferences:
tell application „BBEdit"
find "\\)|}|\\]|'|\"" searching in (front text window) options {search
mode:grep, starting at top:false, wrap around:false, backwards:false, case
sensitive:false, match words:false, extend selection:false} with selecting match
select insertion point after found object of result
end tell
