nvim-autopairs VS neovim

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

As a software engineer, choosing and understanding your text editor is important part of your work, as it impacts your productivity and workflow efficiency. It's like choosing the perfect tool for any trade - you need to know what tool to use and how to use it effectively if you want to excel. For me, I use Neovim as my editor and I have been using it for a little over a year now.

This got me thinking about my recent pivot, my switch to Neovim by way of LazyVim to write most of my code, and using tmux to keep terminal states alive after closing a session.

Neovim: Make sure you have Neovim installed on your system. You can check the official website for installation instructions: https://neovim.io/ Git: We'll be using Git to clone the LazyVim starter pack. If you don't have Git, you can download it from https://git-scm.com/downloads

There are several ways to install Neovim. This wiki provides several guidelines on how to install Neovim.

All these thoughts I've shared, I would have them on occasion - but ever since I switched to Linux and Neovim, my curiosity has been through the roof. Switching over to Neovim and Linux was a not so fun weekend of configuration and spending half a day getting my work's local dev environment running on my new OS (which no one has tested development on). But I now have a deeper understanding of the tools I use, and have a text editor configured to be the most optimal for the way I want to use it.
