This seems to work well when you select words, but I’m finding it slightly problematic while typing.
-
While typing and putting something in parenthesis/brackets the closing item is added, but then you either need to Right Arrow to get past it or keep typing, and type your own close item where you want it, and then the auto-created item rides along with your cursor and eventually needs to be deleted, from the end of your sentence, when you’re done typing.
-
Typing words with apostrophes adds a second single quote - example: typing Don’t - becomes Don’t’
This last one I’m only including because it happened while I was doing more testing prior to writing this comment:
- After selecting a word and adding square brackets, I changed my mind and deciding I wanted curly brackets instead. If you hit delete to try to remove the opening square bracket you end up deleting your selected word(s) - which hopefully you would notice, but the opportunity for content to accidentally get deleted while formatting seems risky to me.
I would like to see this feature as something users could enable/disable in account settings.
