[erlang-questions] How to disable parentheses matching in Erlang shell?

[Grzegorz Junka]

:(

As soon as I closed the bracket after typing {e, 5} from my example the 
cursor jumped some 10 columns to the right and then to the beginning of 
the line. That's how far it got (without the fix the cursor would jump 
incorrectly only after closing ']').

(sc-1@REDACTED)1> lists:sort([{a, 1}, {b, 2}, {c, 3}, {d, 
4}, {e, 5}
