Hi,

I attended Jason Axelson's talk at ElixirConf this year, and he mentioned how ctrl-J in iex closes brackets but not quotes, and it would be a good thing for someone to make a PR on if they wanted.

I'm new to the community (just started with Elixir in December), but it seemed an easy opportunity to start contributing, and I wanted to check that someone else that was at that talk hasn't already picked this up?

Thanks,

Rory

Hi Rory!

I'm glad you enjoyed the talk! Here's the previous discussion on this topic (which thus far has been pretty limited): https://groups.google.com/g/elixir-lang-core/c/S2SxoIJXz_M/m/7HAJfeN0AQAJ

Also a minor correction is that the key combo used in `ctrl-]` (not `ctrl-J`).

Unfortunately I can't help with the implementation. Although I'm pretty certain that the code that would need to be changed is in the Erlang shell itself.

-Jason
