I'd like show-paren-mode to wait show-paren-delay seconds, then show the matching paren, but only do so for some specified amount of time, before going away. However, I don't see a variable specifying how long to show the paren for. What I'm after is the following: whenever I'm curious about what the matching paren is of some closing paren, I can move point to after the closing paren, and it will show me, for a second or so. Currently it's seeming to me that I can achieve this with neither show-paren-mode nor blink-matching-paren (which only blinks on insertion, rather than point being next to paren). Any solutions? q2. A basic question: In my .emacs I'd like to turn on e.g. show-paren-mode in e.g. emacs-lisp mode only. How do I do that? Adding (show-paren-mode t) to my personal emacs-lisp mode hook turns it on in all buffers, right? Thanks, Dan
