I’ve had the completion capability on my local dev environment for a couple of

I actually find that it is benefitial to have BOTH completion and no
completion. Having a setting to change this is combersome. It is an on-the-fly
desire.
Here's my take on that... with a simple addition you can bracket
existing text as well as inserting a pair in one place.
on rawKeyDown pKey
local tBookmarks
local tChunk
if optionkey() = "down" then
switch pKey
case 34 # ok
put quote"e into tBookmarks
break
case 39 # ok
put "''" into tBookmarks
break
case 57 #?
case 40
put "()" into tBookmarks
break
case 91 # ok
put "[]" into tBookmarks
break
case 123 # ok
put "{}" into tBookmarks
break
default
end switch
end if
# see if we want to insert a pairing
if tBookmarks is not empty then
# this allows bracketing existing text
put the selectedChunk into tChunk
put char 2 of tBookmarks after the selectedChunk
select tChunk
put char 1 of tBookmarks before the selectedChunk
else
pass rawKeyDown
end if
end rawKeyDown
Also, if the script editor is already in memory you don't need to insert
a frontscript - just
set the behavior of stack "revSEEditorBehavior" to the long id of
<button with this script>
but if the script editor hasn't already been loaded into memory I don't
think you can do this without monkeypatching the SE startup script.
