I use Emacs's built-in structural editing bindings, which doesn't have the auto-move-past any kind of paren/bracket thing. Maybe I could add that in.

But I was talking about like, when refactoring, I'll maybe change something from a list to a vector, and I have to change the delimiters at front and back. Or, where electric-pair does do the move-past-all-parens thing when I just spam ), it doesn't do that with ]}]}]]}}]})).

I don't recall the exact name, but I believe it's forward-up-sexp which allows you to jump forward past the next closing delimiter. Though if I'm not mistaken only the backwards one has a default binding.

I see.

Have you ever tried paredit? It’s pretty much a lifesaver for this kind of thing.
