Allan,
Is there a way for a user to allow the smart typing to replace with
padding vs. no padding.
ie:
( hasPadding )
[ hasPadding ]
(hasNoPadding)
[hasNoPadding]
Regards

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.

I haven't figured out how to let snippets simulate smart-typing 100%,
but I'm more likely to expand these to be able to do that, than to
try and make smart-typing do all the different things people request.

Nope -- I doubt that pressing a key before e.g. ( is easier than
pressing delete after the (. If you're having this problem with
ranges only, you could make a snippet or similar for a range, and tie
it to a key.

Yeah, that's really the only place where this arises. Actually my main
problem is that somehow I am totally not accustomed to doing a
forward-delete, and until I grow out of it I have to take two steps for
it, but soon I'll grow up I hope :-).
A snippet can work just fine for these kinds of things, or a LaTeX new
command in my case would do the job even better.
When you introduce input patterns, I am guessing the way it is going to
work is that you would type something like 'TM' and it would be
expanded to 'TextMate'? In that case, if it is not too hard, it would
be nice to have a generic 'do not do completions or smart-typing for a
while' type command. But of course, you probably have bigger fish to
fry.

That would indeed be great.

Fair enough. It works very well as it is.
