Is it possible to auto close brackets and parentheses?

[c02y]

When I type ( or [ it will automatically insert ) or ] and put the cursor point inside the () or [], can ptpython do this like a lot of IDEs?

Hi @c02y,

Yes, this is possible, but not implemented yet. I'll keep this open as a feature request.

Hi @jonathanslenders
by adding this to ptpython config.py file we get auto close brackets and parentheses

    @repl.add_key_binding('(')
    def _(event):
        event.cli.current_buffer.insert_text("(")
        event.cli.current_buffer.insert_text(")" ,  move_cursor=False)

    @repl.add_key_binding('[')
    def _(event):
        event.cli.current_buffer.insert_text("[")	
        event.cli.current_buffer.insert_text("]" ,  move_cursor=False)

    @repl.add_key_binding('{')
    def _(event):
        event.cli.current_buffer.insert_text("{")
        event.cli.current_buffer.insert_text("}" ,  move_cursor=False)

    @repl.add_key_binding("'")
    def _(event):
        event.cli.current_buffer.insert_text("'")
        event.cli.current_buffer.insert_text("'" ,  move_cursor=False)

    @repl.add_key_binding('"')
    def _(event):
        event.cli.current_buffer.insert_text('"')
        event.cli.current_buffer.insert_text('"' ,  move_cursor=False)

@mohamed-180 Can you please elaborate on the process?

Can you please elaborate on the process?

Just add the snippet to the configuration file, after the other key bindings. It works very well.
