pear-tree VS vim-sleuth

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.

In addition to setting tabstop and shiftwidth, you might also like this plugin: https://github.com/tpope/vim-sleuth

vim-sleuth auto detects tab size so...

Just add https://github.com/tpope/vim-sleuth and never worry about it again.

At the end of the day I don't really care which a project goes with, I've always just used vim-sleuth to automatically set my tab key to input whatever the current file's indentation is.

VsCode has an internal function from auto-detecting indentation, while my config uses vim-sleuth with indent-blankline.nvim.

If you work a lot on legacy codebases, https://github.com/tpope/vim-sleuth is probably more what you need than editorconfig, as it will work even when one is not present.

The primary advantage of using it is that it has built in heuristics for detecting line wrapping when opening a file (with some Treesitter magic for Markdown to make it more accurate), and also allows for manual swapping between wrapping types. You can think of it as the wrapping equivalent to vim-sleuth.

I just found about Tim Pope's sleuth: https://github.com/tpope/vim-sleuth It supports editorconfig but it also seems to have just better heuristics when an editorconfig file isn't present, so I just decided to replace `editorconfig-vim` with it.

Another solution is try sleuth.vim, that sets automatically your indentation based on the project, buffer and editorconfig
