Is there a way for a user to allow the smart typing to replace with padding vs. no padding.
Not really sure what you have in mind here. You want the first space after the opening character to insert another space (before the closing character)?
chiming in here, because if this is what Will wants, (and even if that's now what he wants, I like the idea), then it sounds exactly like something else that I wanted, namely smart-typing pairs of groups of characters. For instance in LaTeX, when I want to insert matching literal braces, I need to have { and } created. So I type '', and then '{', and now it looks like '{}' , and I need to remember to add the other backslash in, otherwise most of hell breaks loose. So it would be nice if TM recognized the pair '{' '}' as a smart typing pair, also for deletion purposes.
On a similar note, maybe this is an RTFM, but suppose one wants to insert only one parenthesis (for instance when typing the open-closed interval of the real number line, '(0,1]'. Is there a key, like esc or something, that would momentarily exit smart-typing status? It's probably not a problem most people have, and it is minor in my case too, but it's related to smart-typing, so I thought I would mention it.
