IDLE: Auto make pair or brackets or quotation marks. #94524

Feature or enhancement

• Auto complete 3 types of brackets and 2 types of quotation marks in pairs.
• Moving cursor without insert char when entering closing bracket (but not quotation mark).
• Auto delete the closing bracket when deleting the opening bracket or quotation mark. (if you need to enter the opening bracket independently, enter the opening bracket and press Delete to delete the closing bracket)
• Select text with brackets or quotation marks, press Backspace to remove the outer one.
• Select text with brackets or quotation marks, type another type of brackets or quotation marks to replace the old one.

Pitch

Like a statement: table = [list(map(int, row['score'])) for row in data['results'].splitlines()]

I need to write to write a lot of pairs of (), [], "", or sometimes I need to change a pair of them. It's not ideal whether I write a lot of opening brackets first, then coding and close them, or write pair of brackets at once and move the cursor inside the brackets. But it would be easier to edit if the brackets could be autocompleted.
