Auto-complete matching pairs in the Fish command line

autopair.fish's Issues

What is `_autopair_tab` supposed to do?

Hi, thanks for this plugin! I was going through your code and I found the _autopair_tab function, which deletes a character from the current token if it matches the regex \$[^\s]*"$ when the user presses <Tab>.

Why is this being done?

complete inside {}

hi, is it possible to add complete inside {}? or add a simple way to configure which pairs will complete by the plugin?

Autopair not loading on new iTerm instances

I'm not sure what's the issue here, but Autopair does not seem to be loading on iTerm after I quit the terminal...

For instance, when I run fisher install jorgebucaran/autopair.fish the autocomplete will work, but not anymore once I quit iTerm and begin a new terminal instance.

Autopair seems to be a rarity that experiences such a problem; I have fzf, nvm, along with a couple other plugins, but most of them loads on startup whereas Autopair does not. Here's my (mostly empty) ~/.config/fish/config.fish:

if status is-interactive
	nvm use 18.16.0
	fzf_configure_bindings --variables=\cv --directory=\cf --git_log=\cg --history=\cr
end

Have I missed any steps during the installation? Thanks in advance.

Autopair ignores an escaped character and pairs a quotemark.

Reproduction steps

1. Write echo 'Let\'* (* stands for the cursor).
2. Type '.
3. Autopairs pairs the quotemark and the state ends up as echo 'Let\''*'.

Expected behavior

The shell should end up as echo 'Let\''*.

Possible to preserve autocomplete

Hello! Thanks for this amazing function, it works really well.

One thing i have been missing, is autocompletion for git commit messages, for example:

Without this library, I could type " and then use some of the autocompleted text to fill my message, but when this library adds the matching " on the end, the autocomplete is gone:

Is it possible to trick fish autocomplete to ignore the ending " somehow?

In fish docs, there are things like https://fishshell.com/docs/current/cmds/commandline.html, could this somehow be used to trick fish into not searching with the ending " for autocompletions?

Add comparison to laughedelic/pisces

A similar plugin for auto-completing matching pairs already exists for fish: https://github.com/laughedelic/pisces

I'd be curious to hear what the pros and cons of the two plugins are, and it would be good to list in the README.md file.

Renaming conf.d file

Hey there!

I just found out about this plugin and am definitely going to be using it! However I noticed that the file in the conf.d file is not prepended with an underscode (i.e. _). For the functions folder the files are prepended with an underscore.

Being a person that stole someone else's dotfiles my gitignore already ignores all fish files starting with an underscore, but since the file does not have one it is not auto-ignored.

Hence my main question: Could this file be renamed to adhere to the underscore usage? Or is there a different reason that I am missing here?

Weird behavior in vi mode

In insert mode, the plugin doesn't react to delimiters at all.
In normal mode, it works, but makes fish go in insert mode while somehow not updating my prompt to reflect that...

In this gif, you can see the Starship prompt which normally points to the left in normal mode and to the right in insert mode.

What I would expect:

Plugin doesn't react in normal mode and doesn't switch modes.
Plugin works in insert mode.

Character before cursor erased when inside double quotes

Fish won't trigger tab completions for variable names while inside double quotes, so we remove the closing " in "$fish_Tab" and trigger tab completions for you. This, however, fails for "$fish_Tabcolor" where we end up erasing the character before the cursor, rather than the closing ".
