Activating show-paren-mode sets the delay time to show-paren-delay initially, but altering that value later has no effect. i.e., after:<br><br>(show-paren-mode)<br>(setq show-paren-delay 0)<br><br>The timer is still set to the original value .125, until the mode is re-activated.<br>
This should maybe be noted in the variable description, or there should be a dedicated function to set the new value, e.g. by turning line 125 of paren.el into a separate function:<br><br>(setq show-paren-idle-timer (run-with-idle-timer<br>
                   show-paren-delay t<br>                   &#39;show-paren-function))<br>
