Thanks for inspiration. I also found `skeleton-pair-insert-maybe'
function from skeleton library
(setq skeleton-pair t)
(global-set-key "(" 'skeleton-pair-insert-maybe) % ()
(global-set-key "[" 'skeleton-pair-insert-maybe) % []
(global-set-key "{" 'skeleton-pair-insert-maybe) % ""
(global-set-key "\"" 'skeleton-pair-insert-maybe) % ''
(global-set-key "`" 'skeleton-pair-insert-maybe) % `'
This inserts pairs of chars and also enclose a region. Now I have at
least three solutions and will see with time what fits me better.
