About

FirstMate copies some features from TextMate, most notably Auto-Paired Characters. Auto-Paired characters inserts a closing quote after the caret when opening one, likewise for single-quotes, parentheses, brackets, and braces. If text is selected, the selection is wrapped by the character pair.
