How do you manage to type a single quote in TextMate? Does that work
in Pharo?
Good question. But I don't know. This "feature" is from the package Shout that is installed in Pharo dev images. If you take a PharoCore for example, it doesn't happen.

I keep winding up with too many right parens. It is possible that I
am typing too many. My suspicion is that Pharo is providing too
many.
This is how it works:
1) when you type the LEFT side of:� { , [� , ( , " , ' � � etc .... it will AUTOMATICALLY open the other pair. This is because this is usually the case: you open the left one, you will probably need to open the right one.
2) when you type the RIGHT side, it only writes the right side.
3) When you remove a left side of the two recently created ( like 1) ) , just after creating it, it removes both of them: left and right
Let me remark something. The style to work with this tool, is not to go to left, type, then go to right, and type. I mean, suppose I have� this
Transcript show: 5 timesRepeat: ['something']
and I need to have it like this:
Transcript show: (5 timesRepeat: ['something'])
the whay to work with Pharo is not:
Transcript show: (5 timesRepeat: ['something']
then
Transcript show: (5 timesRepeat: ['something'])
The idea is that you FIRST select the code you want, and then, you press the LEFT side of what you want. In that case, you select "5 timesRepeat: ['something']" and with that selected you press "(" . And the same with all those characters.�
It is difficult to explain by chat hahahaha. I think they are very very useful, but you have to get use to. When I started with Pharo I was still a java developer..so I was the whole day with Eclipse and then at night with Pharo...and it was incredible how I was trying to work this way in Eclipse, in gmail, in TextEdit etc hahahahha
