Paredit.js – structured navigation and editing of s-expressions

Author here. The demo on the page is just meant to be an example. You would typically choose a mapping to your liking / kind of editor. In that sense paredit.js is meant more to be a "middleware" and the ace editor front-end is one way to make use of it. The project is used in cloxp [1,2] and atom-paredit [3]

The website disables Ctrl-W to close tab. Very annoying.

Works fine for me (Chrome, Windows 7).

It's somewhat disabled if the editor on the page has focus.

It's emulating Emacs keybindings, where Ctrl-W is cut.

Other than that, it doesn't seem to handle closing parantheses like paredit. When you type ')' it should move you to the end of the list, but this seems to just add the extra paren (or maybe that's a bug with Firefox/Ubuntu).
