pear-tree VS emmet-vim

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.

If you're going to be doing a lot of HTML, I really love the emmet-vim plugin. In this case, it fills in a little more than you may have wanted ( tags get an automatic href="" attribute), but you can, for instance, put in (li>b)*2 (that is, two tags, each with a inside an

If you're talking about this plugin, you don't need to be in visual mode, just type your abbreviation and press ctrl-y, like this:

Does anyone have a link to their repository with emmet(https://github.com/mattn/emmet-vim) manually installed?

I installed emmet using packer.nvim. The plugin seemed to be installed correctly without any errors.

I tried emmet-vim, but it's only working in html files

It sounds like vim-emmet would be right up your alley. If you don't use a Vim package manager, install it by git cloneing it into a folder named ~/.vim/pack/plugins/start/ on Unix/macOS or $HOME\vimfiles\pack\plugins\start on Windows (create it beforehand if it doesn't exist), then after you've :EmmetInstalled it into your buffer, you can use the , mapping after the ! to write the Emmet expansion for the HTML boilerplate; Emmet expansion is a very useful but quite complex feature and you can read more on it in [https://docs.emmet.io/](Emmet's documentation).
