[Openmcl-devel] Alternative parens

[Glen Foy]

This works once you define the character attributes:

With point at the start the form shown below, C-M f will move point to the end of the form, and then C-M b will move you back to the start:

 [foo [bar]]                                                                                               [foo [bar]]
^                                                                                                                               ^

If the attributes are not defined, C-M f will move you to the end of 'foo':

                                                                                                                  [foo [bar]]
                                                                                                                        ^

The nested form also seems to work appropriately when the attributes are defined. The "Forward Form" command calls the basic hemlock function, hemlock::form-offset.

What functionality are you not getting?
