Enclosing inner parens produces unwanted grab of outer parens

edit

Yes, I'm using vi mode. I was not selecting anything, you can get it when you run enclose with (), then right after that enclose with [] :)

PS. I always use vi mode in every editor I use :)

Ah, I see. You have to select what you want to enclose. I checked and I think vi mode is doing the right thing, in that the character under the block cursor is considered part of the selection for this. So I think it's just the need to select. Are you expecting it to automatically enclose to the matching ) or ] etc if you are before ( or [ etc? Or find the innermost [] or () etc and enclose that? The implementation currently assumes selection but it might make sense to have a default action if there is no selection.

BTW, for clarity for others that might see this: In Wing Pro with the Editor > Auto-Editing > Apply (), [], {} to Selection preference enabled, you can just select and press ( or [ or { to enclose. But the auto-editing suite of functionality is not present in Wing Personal.

I'm expecting it to automatically enclose right after creation as default behavior when nothing is selected. Example:

test-enclose_with_()--enclose_with_[]- should give me test([*cursor]) instead of test([)*cursor]

I hope that everything what I propose/say is in the right tone :)

We'll consider adding that for the case where there is no selection. It's what you would get by default in Wing Pro using the auto-editing features that auto-close (, [, and {.
