Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
Most IDEs automatically type in the closing bracket/parenthesis/quote/etc when the user types in the opening one, and places the cursor between them. Getting used to the Sk IDE not doing that is proving to be quite hard.

**Describe the solution you'd like**
When I press `[` I'd like the IDE to insert `[]` instead, and place my cursor in the middle `[|]`. Same goes for `"` to `""`, `'` to `''`, `(` to `()`, and so on.

Bonus points, if after having the cursor between brackets `[|]` and pressing enter, the code gets expanded to
```
[
|
]
```
instead of
```
[
|]
```

**Describe alternatives you've considered**
There isn't really an alternative. Unless, uh, an AHK script? Sounds like a way overengineered solution for what seems like a simple change to make to the IDE.
