Proposal: disable cursor jumping to matching parenthesis

[an...@aubble.com]

This is a proposal to introduce a new configuration option to IEx.

It's annoying for me to have the cursor jump to the matching parenthesis when I enter the closing one.

I find it distracting and jarring. It would be great to have an option to disable this feature.

See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/36654660/disable-jumping-cursor-in-erlang-shell

It seems like it actually has to do with the erlang shell so in order to introduce this option, we'd need to first add it into the erlang standard library. I'm not sure how any of this works under the surface (I only know elixir) so I'm not sure what I should request in an erlang issue (https://bugs.erlang.org/issues/) so we should discuss that as well.

Yes, this comes as part of the Erlang shell. You could file a feature request on Erlang issues tracker but it is likely to be considered low priority. The best way to get this in is probably by contributing it yourself.

Definitely would if I knew erlang. Welp, I guess I'll try learning it in a few weeks to get this working.
