13:47 <jA_cOp> In Emacs racket-mode, how can I force an angle bracket (i.e. []) instead of a parenthesis? It seems want to take care of it automatically, but doesn't always "get it right"

13:47 <jA_cOp> using Doom Emacs with evil mode, not sure if it's relevant

13:49 <bremner> jA_cOp: you mean when closing, or when opening?

13:53 <jA_cOp> when opening - it seems to do the closing just fine (like if I paste in a [, and type ], it correctly inserts it without converting to parenthesis)

13:54 <bremner> hmm. OK, I only know about the closing thing, which is configurable.

19:22 <winny> jA_cOp: put point over the paren/square bracket/brace then use racket-cycle-paren-shapes (C-c C-p by default, check doom emacs cfg, might have a different binding). theres also a feature in paredit to wrap the current sexp in whichever. see the racket mode docs for an example how to configure this feature of paredit. https://racket-mode.com/ i dunno if doom offers paredit... i did try the

19:22 <winny> parenifer doom support, its not very worth. if i were a doom user i'd probably try to set up paredit. editing without structural editing is very clunky

19:24 <winny> maybe theres a tree sitter powered structural editing plugin 🤔

21:00 <jA_cOp> winny: thanks a bunch, C-c C-p was exactly what I was looking for! Yeah, I've gotta look into paredit at some point

23:16 <winny> np =)
