Feature request: Allow for smiley too

[japhir]

Typing :) would be a nice addition!

[duckwork]

Is there a use-case for this? As far as I know, modes like electric-pair-mode only insert an extra (unwanted) closing pair when typing the open bracket -- so :) should be typable without intervention.

Now, come on, there's clearly more duckwork to be done here: What if I want to type a smiley inside a set of parens, like (with | representing point):

I found a new package today called `frowny` (which, despite its name, brings a :|)

If I then insert a ), electric-pair-mode will skip past the ), leaving me with brings a :)|--and then the ) has to serve double-duty as both the mouth and closing paren, which isn't fair at all. It should clearly be brings a :)|) or brings a :) |).

The only question is whether this feature could possibly be considered in-scope for this package, given its name...

Off-topic. But I really need to say it - this package is amazing. Emacs community is amazing. You folks rock 💯

Not I am going to grab a shield for a well deserved rock for off-topic. See you! ❤️

acdw certainly brought an "unfrowny" to my face. :)

Nah, no rocks, we'll just slap you gently with a wet squirrel. :)

Ah, I guess my issue isn't because of electric-pair-mode but because I'm using smartparens' turn-on-smartparens-strict-mode. So when I try to type :) I get : and a message We can not insert unbalanced closing delimiter in strict mode.

@alphapapa had to show off my editing skills:

@d12frosted LOL, quite the Gimpmaster you must be. :)

[duckwork]

Damn, yall are right about this. Okay, I'll include it in frowny -- expect an update later tonight!

(No, I won't make a new smiley package, because that's just silly :P )

Well, that, and @tarsius might get the wrong idea... ;)
