Version: 2.4.1 (using KDE 3.5.0 Level "a" , SUSE 10.0 UNSUPPORTED) Compiler: Target: i586-suse-linux OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.13-15.7-default The "auto brackets" option in kate is not working properly. Example: When I type "{" for the first time, I get a closed bracket "}" correctly. When I now type som letters or e.g. a simple space, and I type a new bracket "{", the closing bracket doesnt occur, i.e. the resulting output would be "{ {}" instead of "{ {}}". In general one gets "{something{}" instead of "{something{}}" when using the auto brackets option in kate. When I do not type any letters, I will get all brackets correctly, e.g. "{{{}}}".
This is due to changes made in bug #101213 ...
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 117716 ***
I don't think This is due to changes made in bug #101213 ... I think its related to the auto-indent code. see my comment#27 and #28 in bug #101213 therefore it is not a duplicate of bug #117716 which is totally different anyway.
It is a duplicate, because the root of the evil is the same, period.
no its not. its auto indent problem.
The bug status is "RESOLVED", although I still get exactly the same behavior as described above. I am using kate 2.5.8 on Ubuntu Linux (i686) release 2.6.22-14-generic. May I make a general suggestion: it would be nice to have a configurable auto-bracketing. For example, when editing a LaTeX file, I systematically use \(...\) instead of $...$ and \[...\] instead of $$...$$. It would be nice to have the opportunity to specify (preferably, depending on the context) what sequences of characters should be treated as delimiters and how they should be auto-completed.
