Settings:Editor:Braces / strings

The Editor » Braces / strings branch of Settings has the following options.

Enable auto-brace matching

When this option is selected, and the caret is positioned beside an open or close brace, the matching brace will automatically be highlighted.

Brace match in comments

If this option is selected the Go to brace and Select to brace functions in the Coding tab and auto-brace matching (if active) will match braces in commented text as well as regular source code.

Enable brace auto-completion

If this option is enabled, when typing an opening brace character, the matching close brace character will automatically be inserted. The open and close brace characters used for this feature are specified in the wordfile associated with the active file's syntax highlighting. If the wordfile contains no open / close brace characters, or if the active file is not syntax highlighted, the default brace characters are used: {}, (), and [].

If you Backspace immediately following the auto-completion of a close brace, both the opening and closing brace will be removed.

If you type the closing brace after the close brace was automatically added by thi sfeature, or when the caret is positioned immediately in front of a close brace, the editor will detect this and skip over the closing brace without inserting a second closing brace, so that multiple closing braces aren't inserted.
