nvim-autopairs VS pear-tree

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

After some digging, it turned out the problem was caused by the plugin tmsvg/pear-tree. The solution outlined here worked for me.

https://github.com/tmsvg/pear-tree (the one I use)

In general, having an LSP update the document at unexpected times is problematic for me (especially when the document being checked at random times leads to big flickers of temporary syntax error worse than what I installed pear-tree to reduce from typing things like quotes).

tmsvg/pear-tree for an extensible autocloser (I hate closing GHC {-# LANGUAGE ... #-} myself, and it's not built into any of the common plugins AFAIK)

Most pair matching plugins will let you type the closing brackets explicitly, and skip over them if they're already there. For instance, in pear-tree you'll want to enable Smart Pairing. So that's the easiest answer to your question. If your current plugin doesn't support that sort of behavior, I'd suggest finding one that does; it makes things so much nicer!

Myself, I have been and continue to be a pear-tree user. Works reasonably well, but it does seem to be an abandoned plugin these days. Though I do like that pear-tree has tag pairing support in addition to traditional bracket pairing.

I know this is not the answer you're looking for, but I have tried a lot of auto pairs like plugins and I always have had problems with any of them. This week tried Lexima instead of https://github.com/tmsvg/pear-tree, and I must admit that Lexima is pretty cool. You could try with Lexima and see if it fits your needs.
