Auto close brackets pairs

[gegoune]

What? Modern, working out of the box but configurable auto pair plugin written in lua.

Why? There is popular demand for auto pair close plugins, which is reflected by number of existing solutions. Many of which are outdated, not maintained or simply buggy. It would be nice to have modern, working out of the box solution for neovim.

Potential existing implementations: https://github.com/cohama/lexima.vim https://github.com/jiangmiao/auto-pairs https://github.com/rstacruz/vim-closer https://github.com/Raimondi/delimitMate

*Potential pitfalls:* Would like it to work with existing lua plugins out of the box. It potentially needs to remap <CR> which also plugins like completion-vim do (I believe).

I think the autopair solution should support treesitter for no false bracket creations. It could possibly reuse parts of rainbow.

Another plugin: https://github.com/tmsvg/pear-tree/ This one does a fairly good job at deciding when it's correct to insert/delete matching brackets. Example

@tomtomjhj But that's not lua plugin.

Looks like there is a new option available pears.nvim from @steelsojka.

I don't know how it compares with nvim-autopairs.

I currently use pear-tree which works quite well. But I do want to give the new Lua alternatives a test drive eventually.

latest update of nvim-autopairs added support treesitter and multiple chars.

a new api with rule make it is easy to customize.

And initial endwise infrastructure was also added to nvim-autopairs, which should prove very useful.

That wish seems to be granted.
