I have set the BBEdit text editor so that Cmd-[
, Cmd-{
, Cmd-"
Cmd-(
give [] {} "" ()
pairs, enclosing any selected text, and they work fine.
The KeyEventTranslations
that I reported above were meant to reproduce the same behaviours, but among them only Cmd-"
and Cmd-(
perform as desired on my system. I remember that back during Mathematica version 8 (or 7, I am not sure), when I first heard of these tricks, they were working correctly.
IÂ wonder if it is an idiosincrasy of my system.
