Maybe this is too broad, but there's one feature that numerous text editors have that I've never understood how to use or why people like it: automatically inserting the closing symbol after you type the opening one. In general, the feature goes that if you type one of ' " { [ or ( then the editor will immediately put the closing ' " } ] or ) after the cursor, so that you are typing inside the symbols.
I hate this. I mean, I get that its supposed to help you not forget to close your contexts, but I find it very aggravating because how are you supposed to indicate you're finished working in that context? In poor implementations, typing the closing symbol yourself just gives you two closing symbols. In the good ones, it moves your cursor outside the context, but then why bother with auto-inserting? Typically I have to reach over to the arrow keys or the mouse to get out and continue my typing.
Is there some standard way of exiting these that I don't know about, or do most people really just use the arrow keys to move past the symbol. I can't understand the workflow this feature enables.
