Description
I would like to propose a new feature for the markdown editor (that i am willing to implement)
When a user types any type of bracket, usually the user wants to also complete the opposite bracket.
So if the user types an opening bracket, notes could insert the closing bracket after the cursor. Many IDE's have similar features.
Caveats: old-school smileys would require the user to remove the wrong closing bracket, but with a simple rule system we could limit such false positives.
Is that something we want for the notes-app? Are there other issues with that? Could we auto-apply suggestions for other elements too?

Research direction
Start by locating the markdown editor entry point in the Notes application and review how text input is handled. Define the bracket-pair and false-positive rules before implementation, then verify that opening brackets insert the intended closing brackets without breaking existing editing behavior.
