Backspace usually. Yes, currently `undo' removes only the left parenthesis. Also, sometime I forget to put parens in some of the the `match' clauses and realize it while/after writing the clauses. Then I select the clause and put the left parenthesis, which automatically puts the right parenthesis as well. Is there a way to put an empty matched parentheses and then add statements into it from left or right?
