Problem with auto closing parentheses

4 posts · 1512 views

Hello.

I recently installed "Ready Lisp" for mac which is consisted with aquamacs, sbcl, and slime.

When I typed open bracket, closing bracket appeared automatically.

Does anyone have an idea to get rid of this annoying automatic closing parenthesis completion?

Re: Problem with auto closing parentheses

I've noticed this happening in a couple other lisp implementations. Never found any way of turning it off, though that does not mean there isn't a way. You do get used to after a while though, just takes a little bit of time. I used to think it was quite annoying as well, but now I hardly even notice it.

M-x local-set-key ENTER ( self-insert-command ENTER

(A permanent solution depends on where it's getting changed...possibly there's some variable you can set to avoid getting it changed in the first place, rather than resetting it after the fact)

Presumably you'll also want the same for ')'

Sounds like you have ParEdit enabled somewhere. Check in your init file.
