Variable: electric-pair-pairs

electric-pair-pairs is a customizable variable defined in elec-pair.el.gz.

Value

((34 . 34) (8216 . 8217) (8220 . 8221))

Documentation

Alist of pairs that should be used regardless of major mode.

Pairs of delimiters in this list are a fallback in case they have no syntax relevant to electric-pair-mode(var)/electric-pair-mode(fun) in the mode's syntax table.

Each list element should be in one of these forms:
 (CHAR . CHAR)
Where CHAR is character to be used as pair.

 (STRING STRING SPC)
Where STRING is a string to be used as pair and SPC a non-nil value which specifies to insert an extra space after first STRING.

 (STRING . STRING)
This is similar to (STRING STRING SPC) form, except that SPC (space) is ignored and will not be inserted.

In both string pairs forms, the first string pair must be a regular expression.

Unlike character pairs, string pairs do not support inserting pairs in regions and cannot be deleted with electric-pair-delete-pair, thus string pairs should be used only for multi-character pairs.

See also the variable electric-pair-text-pairs.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 24.1.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 31.1.
