Hi,

This is a simple trick to get autoclose parenthesis on windows.
If you like how StatET autocloses parens, but like to use the lighter
Vanilla R, you can use autohotkey (http://autohotkey.net) to provide
this functionality.

Simply put the below code in a text file, rename extension as .ahk and
doubleclick on it to execute.


------------------ code starts here 8< ------------------


; Vanilla R
; =============================================================
#IfWinActive, ahk_class Rgui
    ; autoclose parens
    (::Send (){left}
    "::Send ""{left}
return

------------------ code ends here 8< ------------------

Silly, but I find it very convenient.

Best,
-Jose
