manual-pairs: Neovim plugin that rethinks the concept of automatically pairing delimiters

6 comments

I love the idea of less-automatic pairs.

I wish there was a plugin that keeps track of unclosed pairs, but instead of inserting them automatically, it just reminds you of them and their order.

For some reason, inserting pairs automatically disorients me a bit.
- That’s an interesting idea. How exactly would you imagine it to work?
  
  There's a couple of ways I can see it:
  
  highlights unclosed pairs
  
  closing pairs shown as faded / gray text, kind of like some auto complete systems like copilot in vscode.
  
  it could be some key bind you press, and it closes the next unclosed pair
  
  The following is less preferred but still works: maybe the status line or a pop up shows the order of unclosed pairs.
Ive been looking for an alternative auto-pair plugin, so I'll check this out. Thanks
Interesting idea... Thanks!
