[AUCTeX-devel] generalised paren-forward-sexp

[Lars Madsen]

Does anyone know about a generalized paren-forward-sexp functionality? As it is 
now there a few paren implementations where you can jump from a ( to the proper 
matching )

It would be nice with a generalized version of this for AUCTeX, that is having 
a list of pairs of delimiters, like

(,); [,]; \{,\}, \langle,\rangle; \lbrace,\rbrace etc.

then upon standing at one of these the macro could be used to jump to the 
corresponding 'end' (or start)

Having such a function would allow us to define a function that should go to 
the next start string from the list, find the corresponding end, identify any 
fence scalers, (\left,\right,\big,\Big,\bigg,\Bigg, + l,r variants) and then 
offer an interface to scale these differently.

I currently have one made, but it can only handle () and []

The function is very handly when most of your LaTeX work is editing things 
other people have written. There are many people who stil write \left/right all 
over the place.
