autopair doesn't work with prezto

[laughingman-hass]

Hi there,

I recently changed from oh-my-zsh to prezto, and noticed that autopair stops working. I use zgen to manage plugins. Below is a copy of my .zshrc

# load zgen
source "${HOME}/.zgen/zgen.zsh"

# check if there's no init script
if ! zgen saved; then
  echo "Creating a zgen save"

  # # theme
  zgen prezto prompt theme 'sorin'

  # # plugins
  zgen prezto
  zgen prezto git
  zgen prezto tmux
  zgen prezto homebrew

  zgen load hlissner/zsh-autopair 'autopair.zsh'
  zgen load zsh-users/zsh-completions
  zgen load felixr/docker-zsh-completion
  zgen load zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting
  zgen load zsh-users/zsh-history-substring-search

  zgen save
fi

it works once after zgen reset and zgen save, but if i reload the shell or start another it stops working. Seen no problems with oh-my-zsh

This is very odd. I'll do some testing today and get back to you!

I've discovered the cause. Prezto's Editor module is resetting the keybinds and zgen initializes Prezto's modules last (regardless of zgen load order), thus removing zsh-autopair's bindings.

I don't know how to fix it internally, so you'll have to do this:

source "${HOME}/.zgen/zgen.zsh"

# Add this
AUTOPAIR_INHIBIT_INIT=1

if ! zgen saved; then
  zgen prezto
  #...
  zgen load hlissner/zsh-autopair 'autopair.zsh'
  #...
  zgen save
fi

# And this
autopair-init

I'll close this issue for now. Feel free to reopen if this doesn't fix it for you.
