Yay! I didn't know about that command (and I really did search before
reporting this bug, no idea how I missed it!). It doesn't work backward
though as far as I can tell:
(let (message "%s" "foobar")|)
M-x delete-pair there does nothing. I was hopeful about
`electric-pair-delete-pair' but it only works if the pair is adjacent.
I guess this is closer to what I wanted:
(defun my/delete-pair ()
"Call `delete-pair', perhaps also calling `backward-up-list'."
(interactive)
(condition-case nil (delete-pair)
(t (progn (backward-up-list)
(delete-pair)))))
Anyway, thanks for the response!
Alex
