VapourNvim VS nvim-autopairs

OP and others: vim / neovim can be actual IDEs, with debuggers, autocomplete, filesystem selects, etc. There's even distros of neovim out there, like https://github.com/LunarVim/LunarVim & https://github.com/NvChad/NvChad & https://github.com/VapourNvim/VapourNvim (for people who don't want to fiddle with config or want starting points)

Havent tried it, but if you just want to test it out, a neovim distro like lunarvim or vapourvim might get you up and running with it quicker.

When you are talking about being as close as possible to an actual IDE, you should have a look at VapourNvim.

You can have a look at projects like nvchad, lunarvim or vapour nvim. However, those are just examples. You can open this link and use exactly what you want and how you want.

The main repository Wiki mentions the plugin nvim-tree.lua as its file explorer.

I would like to be able to jump out of a pair generated by nvim-autopairs (https://github.com/windwp/nvim-autopairs) using a Tab. To me it is impossible to get out of the habit of using tab for it, as placing an autopair looks and feel like a snippet, and I typically move out of a snippet with a tab.

A couple nice quality of life plugins would be: Comment (which lets you use a keybinding to comment/uncomment things), Autopairs (which will make the paired brackets/parentheses/etc.), and Rainbow2 (which color-matches the pairs if things like parentheses).

As an example, I give a slight edge to windwp/nvim-autopairs because it can turn 'test' into {'test'} just by pressing { instead of me having to use surround with something like gzaa'{

autopairs has worked for me

I think I have two plugins that affect this -- nvim-autopairs and cmp

For Rust closures, I'd like to have an autopair for "|" -- any idea how to actually add that to the nvim-autopairs plugin? (https://github.com/windwp/nvim-autopairs) This plugin has a lot of fancy stuff I do not need, but I'm not sure how to do this very basic thing.

Having trouble with nvim-autopairs. I'm trying to define a rule for automatically closing $ in .tex files, but I keep getting this error
