Hi Eliot --

Yes, that's an unfortunate side effect of having "enclose text selection" enabled. If you do not like this behavior, you can

TextEditor encloseSelection: false.
LegacyShortcutsFilter legacyShortcutsEnabled: true.

to then be able to distinguish between cmd+] and ].

Since the Compiler warning is selected to be able to easily remove it, you would have to remove it before typing () [] {} <> with "Enclose text selection" enabled.

Yet, we should somehow notify the user that the input was acknowledged but rejected. #flash used to do this.

Best,
Marcel

Hi Marcel, Hi All,

    inspect
        Smalltalk specialObjectsArray
in the evaluator workspace at the bottom type exactly this (it is missing the closing square bracket)

    self select: [:o| o isSymbol or: [o isArray and: [o anySatisfy: #isSymbol]]

hit print it. Now the compiler generates the warning, which is selected:

self select: [:o| o isSymbol or: [o isArray and: [o anySatisfy: #isSymbol]] "Period or right bracket expected ->"


typing ']' has no effect :-(  Instead one has to delete the selection and then hit ']' :-(

_,,,^..^,,,_

best, Eliot
