Well I hate brackets in any form or shape in coding or in calculators,
I were a moment in heaven when I did found auto-closing brackets
(which are the best invention since sliced bread) from FPC ansi IDE,
then I spiritually dropped below the ground when noticing that the
feature is missing from the Lazarus (where I'll jump soon when I get
few more things ironed to my head in ansi IDE).

So the code is already here, it only need to be copied from IDE to
other.

I would do it myself, but as a young padawan I shall not play with the
force.

and assign it to the "(" key.
