# Dumbparens

Dumbparens is a parenthesis-matching solution for Emacs that actually

Just Works™ (finally). It replaces and improves on previous packages

such as [Electric Pair

mode](https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Matching.html),

[Paredit](http://danmidwood.com/content/2014/11/21/animated-paredit.html),

and [Smartparens](https://github.com/Fuco1/smartparens). The package

is called Dumbparens as a response to Smartparens, which I feel tries

to be much too smart for its own good, resulting in a host of bugs,

performance issues, and inexplicable behavior. Dumbparens has the

design philosophy of: try to do as little as possible, and **always**

do something reasonable.

Documentation will come when the basic features have been implemented.

Usage is as follows. First install with

[`straight.el`](https://github.com/raxod502/straight.el):

    (straight-use-package

      '(dumbparens :host github :repo "radian-software/dumbparens"))

Then type `M-x dumbparens-mode` or `M-x dumbparens-global-mode`.

To run the tests, you have two options:

1. From Emacs, evaluate the contents of `dumbparens-tests.el` and then

   type `M-x dumbparens-run-all-tests`.

2. From the command line, run `make test`.

Since Dumbparens has a goal of **always** doing something reasonable,

any unreasonable behavior will result in a slap on the wrist and a new

regression test.

Note that there are also various linters, which you can run along with

the unit tests by means of `make lint`. GitHub Actions will

automatically run this against all supported Emacs versions. You can

easily test for yourself by using `make docker VERSION=25.1` or

analogous to use the appropriate version.
