Instead, what happens depends on the character <br>immediately to the left of the close-paren.

Related to that: if you put cursor at end of sexpr Command-E, execute selection, is neither working nor enabled. Strictly speaking there is no selection but that did not bother MCL and quite frankly Command E is very handy. Notice, one could use the enter key instead but one the new, shabby, apple keyboards there is no direct enter key. You need to press the fn key. Not good. Please give me back the "if there is no selection do the same as enter" behavior of Command E.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div>2.

The new way of balancing parens is not bad, a vast improvement <br>over the way it was before, but it would be nice to be able to <br>customize the highlighting. In particular, I'd like to be able to <br>change the color. That cyan doesn't resonate well with me for some <br>reason. Even better, I'd like to be able to change both the <br>background color *and* the color and style of the glyph (in which case <br>I'd probably choose for the background color to be white, and <br>highlight matching parens by making them bold, but that's just me).<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>partial solution: </div><div><br></div><div><div>(setq gui::*paren-highlight-background-color*</div><div> (#/retain (#/colorWithCalibratedRed:green:blue:alpha: ns:ns-color 0.9 0.8 0.8 1.0)))</div><div><br></div><div>I would add another one. I like to have a way to find the keyboard bindings a bit more efficiently. The page that Jeremy send a link out to looks good.
