Code Structure

The "syntax_pars.py" contains the code for syntax higlighting. The autocomplete feature for brackets and single and double quotation marks is in the below peice of code :

def keyPressEvent(self, event):
        character_list = {
            '[': ']',
            '(': ')',
            "'": "'",
            '"': '"',
            '{': '}'
        }

        closing_char = character_list.get(event.text())

        if closing_char:
            char_cusor = self.textCursor()
            char_position1 = char_cusor.position()

            self.insertPlainText(closing_char)
            char_cusor.setPosition(char_position1)
            self.setTextCursor(char_cusor)
        super().keyPressEvent(event)

Above is a function in the "Pyter.py" file.
