You are right, we also encountered this kind of inconvenience when using
this feature. We plan to solve it by providing 2 fixes:
1. Typing '(' will not insert ')' if there is already a matching one.
2. Typing backspace to delete '(' will also delete a pair ')' when it
immediately follows the openning brace.Valentin Kipiatkov JetBrains, Inc / IntelliJ Software http://www.intellij.com "Develop with pleasure!" ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, March 16, 2002 12:31 AM Subject: [Eap-list] Re: brace matching feature > I've found the reproducible issue I have with the matching braces.
