parenthesis matching in notebook environment
pong
notebook environment (like that in Emacs). It is helpful in typing an
instruction with severals nested parenthesis.
If this has been implemented, how how to invoke it? If not, I hope
this will be implemented in later versions of SAGE.

Do you know a good example of an javascript text editor that does
this? If you could search around, that would be most helpful. The
biggest concern is probably the impact on performance; it's the same
issue with things like syntax highlighting.

Mike,
Currently every time the user presses a key in the notebook
we run a javascript command to resize the cell input
area. This is pretty optimized. It would certainly also
be possible that every time the ')' key is pressed, a javascript
command is run that does some matching -- I don't know
what it would *literally* do to emphasize the matching -- but
it could do something. I think the hard part, by far, is simply
writing a javascript function to find the corresponding matching
paranthesis earlier in a string. And, well, that doesn't
sound very hard.
I think this feature request is reasonable, but the way to
implement it is to just do it directly instead of including a
full javascript text editor. What do you think?

parenthesis (), but also brackets [] and braces {} and "" and '' and
so on.

This page might be relevant and interesting, if only for ideas of what
we could do:

In particular, this editor already has python capabilities, apparently:

People should play around with that editor and see if it feels
snappy enough that they would *actually* want to use it a lot.
For me on FF3 the editor doesn't even work, which is
worrisome.

Don't worry, be happy and make things better ;)

I just upgraded to Ubuntu 8.04 (RC), which has FF3Beta5. Of the
examples on
http://www.cdolivet.net/editarea/editarea/exemples/exemple_full.html,
only the python works for me. The other examples have lots of
characters superimposed on others and are messes to look at.

Yes, same here under OS X.
By the way, precisely what paran matching do people want?
Precisely how would it be to use it? Exactly like emacs?

I've posted an spkg and a patch which enables the functionality at least
a little bit on trac #3016.
Edit Area says that it supports Firefox 2.5 and Safari 3.0. It seems
like it is under pretty active development, so my guess is that it's
only a matter of time before supporting Firefox 3 fully.
The settings that the patch enables seem to work for my FF3 on Ubuntu.
Of course, I don't think this editor does parenthesis matching! :) The
syntax highlighting is pretty, though.
