smartparens VS puni

Check out smartparens which supports several non-lisp languages including c and js. Learn more here: https://github.com/Fuco1/smartparens

For working with delimiters, you might want to check out Smartparens or Puni. There are many other packages like these, but those are the two I know about.

I think the following packages would fit your wishlist, as it is very similar to mine. As mentioned in the replies, there is (https://github.com/magnars/expand-region.el) and (https://github.com/mickeynp/combobulate). I regularly use (https://github.com/Fuco1/smartparens).

This particular issue has been reported there: https://github.com/Fuco1/smartparens/issues/1017

smart-parens bracket/parens matching is nice

Emacs seems to attract quite a lot of people who want structural code editing. We now have * paredit * smartparens * evil-cleverparens * lispy * symex * combobulate (more?)

Smartparens is trying to bring the paradigm of lispy/paredit to other languages, though the reality is that the non-structured syntax of other languages do not offer the best experience.

If you want to do automatic pairing of Org's markup delimters (which depend on context), I suggest instead trying Smartparens (https://github.com/Fuco1/smartparens), which already supports such pairing.

If not, there is also show-smartparens-mode from the Smartparens package, which is buffer-local.

For working with delimiters, you might want to check out Smartparens or Puni. There are many other packages like these, but those are the two I know about.

I'm guessing the way forward here for navigation is to change Emacs' built-in sexp-navigation when treesitter is available? forward-sexp, backward-up-list, down-list, raise-sexp etc do a good job in lisp environments, and they can now work everywhere. Packages that build on these (like Puni will automatically gain treesitter-awareness.

I have never used lispy, but I have used puni for a while now, and I'm pretty satisfied with it. I am not sure that it's exactly what you're looking for since it takes a more limited approacg, but it has a lot of the same features: slurping, barfing, raising, splicing etc.

For any Lisp you want paredit or any other structural editing package (I switched to puni recently because it’s more customizable and works with non-Lisp languages too). The first three days will suck hard because it’ll feel like the tools get in your way, but once you’re comfortable with it it’ll be the best thing ever.

Afaik puni uses only forward-sexp for navigating and manipulating sexps. So if you implement a forward-sexp-function that uses treesit.el it should work without any changes.
