readme

========== README.txt

This  plugin was  born  as a  personal  need to  get  some little  special

features from other editors into my preferred one. The Eclipse IDE editor has an auto-complete for open-close pair of characters feature that I always wanted into Vim.

As  soon as  you type  a character  that could  have a  matching (closing)

counterpart, Eclipse automatically puts its counterpart in front of your cursor, and it is smart enough to ignore the closing character afterwards, if typed, but just moves your cursor one character forward.

But  the Eclipse  editor  does not  stop  there. If  you  type an  opening

character on any part of your code that should not have a pair completion, it will not insert the closing character for you.

The AutoClose plugin is an attempt to reproduce this behavior for Vim.
