Insert ; after closing parenthesis when on it

Insert ; after closing parenthesis when on it

[Jiri Pejchal]

Hi,

Netbeans has a following nice feature: when the cursor is on the last
parenthesis of a function call and you press ';', the semicolon is
automatically inserted after the parenthesis. This is very useful
because the opening parenthesis usually inserts also the closing
parenthesis. In emacs after adding arguments you are left with the
cursor on the closing one. Then you have to press right and then ';'.

What I would like to achieve:

object.methodCall(a, b|)
                      ^
                      |
                      |
                      cursor here
                      (actually on the parenthesis)

press ';' and get this:

object.methodCall(a, b);|
                        ^
                        |
                        |
                        cursor here
                        (or even on the next line)


Is this possible in emacs and jdee (or c++ mode)?

Thanks.

There's probably a faster way, but the way I know is remapping the ';'
key like this:

(global-set-key ";" 'insert-closepar)

where the function insert-closepar would be something like this
(tested) :

(defun insert-closepar ()
 "Close parenthesis Jiri's way"
  (interactive)
  (if (looking-at ")")
		(forward-char))
  (insert ";"))

Oh, and you probably don't want to make that binding global map,
because you are only going to use it on specific modes. Try doing:
 (define-key somelanguage-mode-map ";" 'insert-closepar)

Hope I could help,

Thanks a lot! But I would like to keep the electric behaviour of ';'
too. It's bound to  c-electric-semi&comma.

Try changing it to:

(defun insert-closepar ()
 "Close parenthesis Jiri's way"
   (interactive)
   (if (looking-at ")")
 		(forward-char))
   (c-electric-semi&comma))

I wrote a package for doing this, you can try it out.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/casi-mode

Please contact me if you have any problems.  And any suggestions
are welcomed.

Thanks.

Hmmm...  If you do want to try it, please download the code from CVS.
It is newer than the released file.

I couldn't test that here, but maybe just doing something like this
works ?

(defun jump-closepar ()
 "Close parenthesis Jiri's way"
 (interactive)
 (if (looking-at ")")
               (forward-char))
 (c-electric-semi&comma))

Just a guess...
cheers,
weber

It wants an argument:

(defun c-electric-semi&comma (arg)
  "Insert a comma or semicolon.

And (c-electric-semi&comma ";") inserts ^E for me.

Try:  (c-electric-semi&comma nil)

I see. Thanks. I have also changed if to while and the final version is:

(defun jump-closepar ()
 "Close parenthesis Jiri's way"
 (interactive)
 (while (looking-at ")")
               (forward-char))
 (c-electric-semi&comma nil))
