Description

I suggest this default configuration. I believe that is so much intuitive:

mappings = {
  -- Prevents the action if the cursor is just before any character or next to a "\".
  ["("] = { action = "open", pair = "()", neigh_pattern = "[^\\][%s%)%]%}]" },
  ["["] = { action = "open", pair = "[]", neigh_pattern = "[^\\][%s%)%]%}]" },
  ["{"] = { action = "open", pair = "{}", neigh_pattern = "[^\\][%s%)%]%}]" },
  -- This is default (prevents the action if the cursor is just next to a "\").
  [")"] = { action = "close", pair = "()", neigh_pattern = "[^\\]." },
  ["]"] = { action = "close", pair = "[]", neigh_pattern = "[^\\]." },
  ["}"] = { action = "close", pair = "{}", neigh_pattern = "[^\\]." },
  -- Prevents the action if the cursor is just before or next to any character.
  ['"'] = { action = "closeopen", pair = '""', neigh_pattern = "[^%w][^%w]", register = { cr = false } },
  ["'"] = { action = "closeopen", pair = "''", neigh_pattern = "[^%w][^%w]", register = { cr = false } },
  ["`"] = { action = "closeopen", pair = "``", neigh_pattern = "[^%w][^%w]", register = { cr = false } },
}

However, it is just a suggestion.

Here is my config

(I will update this setup to get the more intuitive behavior to me)

Thanks for the suggestion!

Although this does look reasonable, this might have had some not obvious issues back when deciding 'mini.pairs' defaults (I think I tried this kind of neighborhood patterns and evidently decided against it). Plus I don't changing this many default values is worth it for this type of change.

So let's have it as a reference for alternative useful configurations.
