The current Io bundle does this. For the records though, the way it is achieved is by having the language grammar match empty parenthesis and have it assign a scope name to that construct (for example meta.empty-parenthesis.io).
What this then allows us is to overload keys when the caret is inside empty parenthesis, by for example using scope selector source.io meta.empty-parenthesis.io.
If you look at the existing Io bundle, you will see that there is a snippet with this scope, key equivalent set to return, and the body of the snippet is: “\n\t$0\n”, which is the sequence of text we want to have inserted, when pressing return inside empty parenthesis.
