Insert in pair
input: [ output: [|] -
Delete in pair
input: foo[<BS>] output: foo -
Insert new indented line after Return
input: {|} (press <CR> at |) output: { | } (press } to close the pair) output: { }| (the inserted blank line will be deleted) -
Insert spaces before closing characters, only for [], (), {}
input: {|} (press <SPACE> at |) output: { | } input: {|} (press <SPACE>foo} at |) output: { foo }| input: '|' (press <SPACE> at |) output: ' |' -
Skip ' when inside a word
input: foo| (press ' at |) output: foo' -
Skip closed bracket.
input: [] output: [] -
Ignore auto pair when previous character is \
input: "\' output: "\'" -
Fast Wrap
input: |[foo, bar()] (press (<M-e> at |) output: ([foo, bar()]) -
Quick move char to closed pair
input: (|){["foo"]} (press <M-}> at |) output: ({["foo"]}|) input: |[foo, bar()] (press (<M-]> at |) output: ([foo, bar()]|) -
Quick jump to closed pair.
input: { something;| } (press } at |) output: { }| -
Fly Mode
input: if(a[3) output: if(a[3])| (In Fly Mode) output: if(a[3)]) (Without Fly Mode) input: { hello();| world(); } (press } at |) output: { hello(); world(); }| (then press <M-b> at | to do backinsert) output: { hello();}| world(); } See Fly Mode section for details -
Multibyte Pairs
Support any multibyte pairs such as <!-- -->, <% %>, """ """ See multibyte pairs section for details
Fly Mode will always force closed-pair jumping instead of inserting. only for ")", "}", "]"
If jumps in mistake, could use AutoPairsBackInsert(Default Key: <M-b>) to jump back and insert closed pair.
the most situation maybe want to insert single closed pair in the string, eg ")"
Fly Mode is DISABLED by default.
add let g:AutoPairsFlyMode = 1 .vimrc to turn it on
Default Options:
let g:AutoPairsFlyMode = 0
let g:AutoPairsShortcutBackInsert = '<M-b>'
System Shortcuts:
<CR> : Insert new indented line after return if cursor in blank brackets or quotes.
<BS> : Delete brackets in pair
<M-p> : Toggle Autopairs (g:AutoPairsShortcutToggle)
<M-e> : Fast Wrap (g:AutoPairsShortcutFastWrap)
<M-n> : Jump to next closed pair (g:AutoPairsShortcutJump)
<M-b> : BackInsert (g:AutoPairsShortcutBackInsert)
If <M-p> <M-e> or <M-n> conflict with another keys or want to bind to another keys, add
let g:AutoPairsShortcutToggle = '<another key>'
to .vimrc, if the key is empty string '', then the shortcut will be disabled.
-
g:AutoPairs
Default: {'(':')', '[':']', '{':'}',"'":"'",'"':'"', "`":"`", '```':'```', '"""':'"""', "'''":"'''"} -
b:AutoPairs
Default: g:AutoPairs Buffer level pairs set. -
g:AutoPairsShortcutToggle
Default: '<M-p>' The shortcut to toggle autopairs. -
g:AutoPairsShortcutFastWrap
Default: '<M-e>' Fast wrap the word. all pairs will be consider as a block (include <>). (|)'hello' after fast wrap at |, the word will be ('hello') (|)<hello> after fast wrap at |, the word will be (<hello>) -
g:AutoPairsShortcutJump
Default: '<M-n>' Jump to the next closed pair -
g:AutoPairsMapBS
Default : 1 Map <BS> to delete brackets, quotes in pair execute 'inoremap <buffer> <silent> <BS> <C-R>=AutoPairsDelete()<CR>' -
g:AutoPairsMapCh
Default : 1 Map <C-h> to delete brackets, quotes in pair -
g:AutoPairsMapCR
Default : 1 Map <CR> to insert a new indented line if cursor in (|), {|} [|], '|', "|" execute 'inoremap <buffer> <silent> <CR> <C-R>=AutoPairsReturn()<CR>' -
g:AutoPairsCenterLine
Default : 1 When g:AutoPairsMapCR is on, center current line after return if the line is at the bottom 1/3 of the window. -
g:AutoPairsMapSpace
Default : 1 Map <space> to insert a space after the opening character and before the closing one. execute 'inoremap <buffer> <silent> <CR> <C-R>=AutoPairsSpace()<CR>' -
g:AutoPairsFlyMode
Default : 0 set it to 1 to enable FlyMode. see FlyMode section for details. -
g:AutoPairsMultilineClose
Default : 1 When you press the key for the closing pair (e.g. `)`) it jumps past it. If set to 1, then it'll jump to the next line, if there is only whitespace. If set to 0, then it'll only jump to a closing pair on the same line. -
g:AutoPairsShortcutBackInsert
Default : <M-b> Work with FlyMode, insert the key at the Fly Mode jumped postion -
g:AutoPairsMoveCharacter
Default: "()[]{}\"'" Map <M-(> <M-)> <M-[> <M-]> <M-{> <M-}> <M-"> <M-'> to move character under the cursor to the pair.
Set b:AutoPairs before BufEnter
eg:
" When the filetype is FILETYPE then make AutoPairs only match for parenthesis
au Filetype FILETYPE let b:AutoPairs = {"(": ")"}
au FileType php let b:AutoPairs = AutoPairsDefine({'<?' : '?>', '<?php': '?>'})
The default pairs is {'(':')', '[':']', '{':'}',"'":"'",'"':'"', '`':'`'}
You could also define multibyte pairs such as <!-- -->, <% %> and so on
-
Function AutoPairsDefine(addPairs:dict[, removeOpenPairList:list])
add or delete pairs base on g:AutoPairs eg: au FileType html let b:AutoPairs = AutoPairsDefine({'<!--' : '-->'}, ['{']) add <!-- --> pair and remove '{' for html file the pair implict start with \V, so if want to match start of line ^ should be write in \^ vim comment {'\^"': ''} -
General usage
au FileType php let b:AutoPairs = AutoPairsDefine({'<?' : '?>', '<?php': '?>'}) the first key of closed pair ? will be mapped pairs: '<?' : '?>', '<?php': '?>' input: <? output: <?|?> input: <?php output: <?php|?> input: he<?php|?> (press <BS> at|) output: he| input: <?php|?> (press ? at|) output: <?php?>| pair: '[[':']]' input: [[|]] (press <BS>) output: | ([[ and ]] will be deleted the [['s priority is higher than [ for it's longer) -
Modifier
The text after // in close pair is modifiers n - do not map the first charactor of closed pair to close key m - close key jumps through multi line s - close key jumps only in the same line k[KEY] - map the close key to [KEY] by default if open key equals close key the multi line is turn off "<?": "?>" ? jumps only in the same line "<?": "?>//m" force ? jumping through multi line "<?php":"?>" ? will jump through multi line "<?php":"?>//s" force ? only jumping in the same line "<?": "?>//n" do not jump totally "<?": "?>//k]" use key ] to jump through ?> for 'begin' 'end' pair, e is a charactor, if map e to jump will be annoy, so use modifier 'n' to skip key map au FileType ruby let b:AutoPairs = AutoPairsDefine({'begin': 'end//n]'}) input: begin output: begin|end input: begin|end (press <BS> on |) output: | input: begin|end (press e on |) output: begineend (will not jump for e is not mapped) -
Advanced usage
au FileType rust let b:AutoPairs = AutoPairsDefine({'\w\zs<': '>'}) if press < after a word will generate the pair when use regexp MUST use \zs to prevent catching if use '\w<' without \zs, for text hello<|> press <BS> on | will output 'hell', the 'o' has been deleted pair: '\w\zs<': '>' input: h < output: h < input: h< output: h<|> input: h<|> press <BS> output: h| pair: '\w<': '>' (WRONG pair which missed \zs) input: h<|> press <BS> output: | (charactor 'h' is deleted) the 'begin' 'end' pair write in au FileType ruby let b:AutoPairs = AutoPairsDefine({'\v(^|\W)\zsbegin': 'end//n'}) will be better, only auto pair when at start of line or follow non-word text
The script will remap keys ([{'"}]) <BS>,
If auto pairs cannot work, use :imap ( to check if the map is corrected.
The correct map should be <C-R>=AutoPairsInsert("\(")<CR>
Or the plugin conflict with some other plugins.
use command :call AutoPairsInit() to remap the keys.

How to insert parens purely
There are 3 ways
-
use Ctrl-V ) to insert paren without trigger the plugin.
-
use Alt-P to turn off the plugin.
-
use DEL or x to delete the character insert by plugin.
-
-
Swedish Character Conflict
Because AutoPairs uses Meta(Alt) key as shortcut, it is conflict with some Swedish character such as å. To fix the issue, you need remap or disable the related shortcut.
Breaks '.' - issue #3
Description: After entering insert mode and inputing `[hello` then leave insert
mode by `<ESC>`. press '.' will insert 'hello' instead of '[hello]'.
Reason: `[` actually equals `[]\<LEFT>` and \<LEFT> will break '.'.
After version 7.4.849, Vim implements new keyword <C-G>U to avoid the break
Solution: Update Vim to 7.4.849+
