Howdy,

Interesting preference pane. It wasn't clear from the web site if you can set autopairs to insert the selection between the delimiters (e.g., if you have 22 selected and type { will you get {22} with the insertion point just after the selection and before the closing }) or if you can escape the pairing with a \ (i.e., \{ does NOT create \{}).

Good Luck,
