awesome-pair.el is a plugin that provides grammatical parenthesis completion.
Clone or download this repository (path of the folder is the <path-to-awesome-pair>
used below).
In your ~/.emacs
, add the following two lines:
(add-to-list 'load-path "<path-to-awesome-pair>") ; add awesome-pair to your load-path
(require 'awesome-pair)
Not all programming languages are suitable for parenthesis auto-completion. You can add awesome-pair.el to the programming language mode like below:
(dolist (hook (list
'c-mode-common-hook
'c-mode-hook
'c++-mode-hook
'java-mode-hook
'haskell-mode-hook

(add-hook hook '(lambda () (awesome-pair-mode 1))))
Then binding below awesome-pair.el commands with below keystrokes:
(define-key awesome-pair-mode-map (kbd "(") 'awesome-pair-open-round)
