Cmd-{ is not so practical regarding to non-US keyboard users, but  
maybe Cmd-B

Cmd-B could simply toggle the boolean RTextView_autoCloseBrackets or  
could disable the auto-pair function for the next keydown event.(?)



On the other hand one could improve the auto-pair behaviour

-by checking the character right from the cursor (if there's one)
Example in RTextView.m > method keyDown:
...
[super keyDown:theEvent];
{
        r = [self selectedRange];
        NSTextStorage *ts = [self textStorage];
        BOOL flag = YES;
        if([ts length] > r.location){
                unichar c = [[ts string] characterAtIndex:r.location];
                flag=(c==' ' || c==',' || c==';' || c==']' || c==')' || 
c=='}')? 
YES:NO;
        }
        if (r.location != NSNotFound && flag) {
                // NSAttributedString *as = [[NSAttributedString alloc]  
initWithString:complement attributes:
                // [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:TAVal forKey:kTALinked]];
                NSTextStorage *ts = [self textStorage];
                [self replaceCharactersInRange:r withString:complement];
                r.length=1;
                [ts addAttribute:kTALinked value:TAVal range:r];
                r.length=0;
                [self setSelectedRange:r];
        }
        return;
}
...

-by adding the possibility to select something in the command line  
and press (,[,{,", or ' to wrap the selection.
Example:  123456  you select 34 and press (  =  12(34)56

I use this very often for editing the command line ;)

Best,

Hans
