Hi Christoph --

No, we should not make the user model more complicated.

Wenn you select the entire "[123]" this means that the text selection has no brackets around it. So hitting ] will naturally replace that with "]"

Hi Jaromir, Marcel, all,

with Morphic-mt.1824 in current Trunk, we have the following behavior for closer brackets:

> Via "enclose selection" preference, an opening bracket adds a level and a closer bracket removes a level. No toggling anymore.

So pressing a closer bracket removes the pair of brackets that is *enclosing* the selection. However, I still wonder whether we should also remove the pair of brackets *inside* the selection if there is no further pair of brackets.

So that

    [123] (entire line selected)

when pressing

    ]

becomes

    123 (entire line selected)

instead of (as in current Trunk)

    ] (nothing selected)

Or would this be more inconsistent than convenient? Wdyt?

Best,
Christoph

Instead of having inserted enclosing brackets always, you can now activate a new preference to only insert these characters if there is any space after the cursor. This matches VS Code's setting value "beforeWhitespace" for "editor.autoClosingBrackets".
