Bug 109200 – Web Inspector: implement smart braces functionality

• Component: Web Inspector (Deprecated)
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Andrey Lushnikov]

By "smart braces" I mean:
- When I type "(", a closing brace should be added immediately and the cursor should be located inside "()" pair.
- When then I hit "Backspace", both braces should be deleted
- If, instead, I type ")" - cursor should go over closing brace without adding a new one.

textInput will trigger for pasting text as well and you don't want interceptors to work there. Instad of text input interceptors, you want keyDown handlers.

not sure I got your idea.. Do you mean we should create a public "registerInterceptor" method?
