A dead-simple Vim plugin to automatically insert the closing bracket/brace/parenthesis based on Vim Tip #630. Requires Vim 7.0 or higher.
This plugin was written because the other solutions interfered with SCIM and were more complex than I needed.
Place the contents of this repo in your Vim runtime folder (~/.vim on
*nix systems or %USERPROFILE%\vimfiles on Windows) or use your
favorite Vim plugin manager.
- Vundle:
tpenguinltg/vim-closing-brackets - vim-addon-manager (VAM):
Closing_Brackets
The following are insert-mode mappings provided by this plugin. ( may
be replaced with [ or {. The cursor position is denoted by |.

(<BS> |
||
<C-v>( |
(| |

) |

))| |
<C-v>) |
)| |
There is additionally an extra mapping for {<CR>:
{
|
}
The opened line will be indented according to your settings.
This plugin does not attempt to autoinsert quotes or do any smart deletion of pairs.
