When typing a closing parenthesis, I would like Alfred to add an opening parenthesis at the start of the field.
Typing this:
20+8)
results in:
(20+8)
For an example, let's say you're doing a calculation in Alfred.
20+8
and you want to divide that result by 3
20+8/3
is incorrect because PEDMAS/BODMAS interprets it as: 8/3 + 20
So you add a closing paragraph:
20+8)
and then you have to go back to the start and add the opening paragraph and then go back and divide by 3 and I know it sounds lazy to request an automatic opening paragraph mark but isn't automating lazy the whole point of Alfred?
Here's how it should work:
When a ")" is added, Alfred should look back in the statement and add a parenthesis at a previous math statement (+-/*)
ex:
4+9*8)
results in:
4+(9*8)
or, not finding that, at the start of the statement.
