Arguments: None
Key sequence: None
Inserts a pair of parentheses, positioning the current point after the left parenthesis. A prefix argument p causes the parentheses to be placed around p following (or preceding) forms.
Insert Parentheses For Selection Editor Command
Arguments: None
Key sequence: Alt+(
Inserts a pair of parentheses around the selected text, if any. If there is no selected text and a prefix argument p is supplied, inserts them around p following (or preceding) forms. Otherwise it inserts them at the current point. The point is left on the character after the left parenthesis.
highlight-matching-parens Editor Variable
Default value: t
Mode: Lisp
When the value is true, matching parentheses are displayed in a different font when the cursor is directly to the right of the corresponding right parenthesis.
Arguments: None
Key sequence: Alt+)
Inserts a new line after the next left parenthesis, moving the current point to the new line. Any indentation preceding the right parenthesis is deleted, and the new line is indented.
Arguments: None
Key sequence: )
Mode: Lisp
Inserts a right parenthesis and highlights the matching left parenthesis, thereby allowing the user to examine the extent of the parentheses.
Lisp Insert ) Indenting Top Level Editor Command
Arguments: None
Key sequence: None
The command Lisp Insert ) Indenting Top Level is the same as Lisp Insert ), but if it looks like the insertion closes a top level form (when the left parenthesis is at the beginning of a line) then it also indents the form.
Note: This command is intended as alternative binding to ) in Lisp mode for users that like this behavior.
Find Unbalanced Parentheses Editor Command
Arguments: None
Key sequence: None
Moves the point to the end of the last properly matched form, thereby allowing you to easily identify any parentheses in your code which are unbalanced.
