Auto parenthesis and quote marks

Post by Franklinr »

To those of us who use the program constantly I would like to see a few new buttons to use.
I often us quotes (') or (") and also the parenthesis marks (and).

It would be convienient to hit the desired button and the system would remember it then when you finish the line and type a period (full stop) or even a space, then the system would add the other end mark before the period or space.
I have a workaround but I'm looking for an actual tool on the toolbar.

I don’t know what kind of a workaround you use, but you could simply type first a complete set of quote marks or braces, go back within the set with the arrow keys or the mouse, then type the quoted text or the parenthetical text. Get on with the main typing by pressing the End key (or the right arrow key).
