Auto Pairs

Insert or delete brackets, parens, quotes in pair.

Installation

copy plugin/auto-pairs.vim to ~/.vim/plugin

or if you are using pathogen:

git clone git://github.com/jiangmiao/auto-pairs.git ~/.vim/bundle/auto-pairs

Features

Fly Mode

Fly Mode will always force closed-pair jumping instead of inserting. only for ")", "}", "]"

If jumps in mistake, could use AutoPairsBackInsert(Default Key: <M-b>) to jump back and insert closed pair.

the most situation maybe want to insert single closed pair in the string, eg ")"

Fly Mode is DISABLED by default.

add let g:AutoPairsFlyMode = 1 .vimrc to turn it on

Default Options:

let g:AutoPairsFlyMode = 0
let g:AutoPairsShortcutBackInsert = '<M-b>'

Shortcuts

System Shortcuts:
    <CR>  : Insert new indented line after return if cursor in blank brackets or quotes.
    <BS>  : Delete brackets in pair
    <M-p> : Toggle Autopairs (g:AutoPairsShortcutToggle)
    <M-e> : Fast Wrap (g:AutoPairsShortcutFastWrap)
    <M-n> : Jump to next closed pair (g:AutoPairsShortcutJump)
    <M-b> : BackInsert (g:AutoPairsShortcutBackInsert)

If <M-p> <M-e> or <M-n> conflict with another keys or want to bind to another keys, add

    let g:AutoPairShortcutToggle = '<another key>'

to .vimrc, if the key is empty string '', then the shortcut will be disabled.

Options

Buffer Level Pairs Setting

Set b:AutoPairs before BufEnter

eg:

" When the filetype is FILETYPE then make AutoPairs only match for parenthesis
au Filetype FILETYPE let b:AutoPairs = {"(": ")"}

TroubleShooting

The script will remap keys ([{'"}]) <BS>,
If auto pairs cannot work, use :imap ( to check if the map is corrected.
The correct map should be <C-R>=AutoPairsInsert("\(")<CR>
Or the plugin conflict with some other plugins.
use command :call AutoPairsInit() to remap the keys.

Known Issues

There are the issues I cannot fix.

Breaks '.' - issue #3

Description: After entering insert mode and inputing `[hello` then leave insert
             mode by `<ESC>`. press '.' will insert 'hello' instead of '[hello]'.
Reason: `[` actually equals `[]\<LEFT>` and \<LEFT> will break '.'
Solution: none
