Global except rule to prevent autoclose when next character is non-whitespace

[HenryMarshall]

In sublime and textmate (as well as the vim plugin snipmate which lacks repeat support), if the character after the cursor is non-whitespace, the closing brace is not automatically inserted:

foo |bar + ( => foo (bar

In lexima the brace is always inserted:

foo |bar + ( => foo ()bar

I prefer the sublime behavior. My reading of the documentation is an "except" rule is applied locally to a single rule.

Is there a way to add a global except rule that affects all default rules? Would my best bet be to set g:lexima_no_default_rules = 0 and then respecify them all in my vimrc? Would you be open to having the behavior I describe be toggleable with a variable?

Love the plugin, auto-closing braces are great, and repeat is even better.

It is difficult to modify the default rule but you can override it.

Please add the following script in your vimrc.

call lexima#add_rule({'at': '\%#\w', 'char': '(', 'input': '('})

This means that if your cursor is before a word character and press ( key then input (. According to lexima's priority rule, above rule overrides the default one. (See :h lexima-priorities)

Please note that \w represents the word character ([0-9A-Za-z_]).

Thanks muchly that's just what I was looking for.
