pear-tree VS vim-unimpaired

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.

I don't think it moves blocks, but I utilize the venerable vim-unimpaired for basic text movement (and for inserting empty lines from normal mode).

vim-unimpaired gives a mapping for that for ] (and [ to insert an empty lines above the cursor).

I use https://github.com/tpope/vim-unimpaired for this.

Is it possible to install a Vim plugin (like https://github.com/tpope/vim-unimpaired/tree/master)?

HJKL for movement, then mapped arrow keys to this (requires unimpaired): " Normal mode: indent or move line nmap [e nmap ]e nmap << nmap >> " Visual mode: indent or move selection vmap [egv vmap ]egv vmap >gv

Just now I was looking at the manual entry for vim-unimpaired, since I couldn't remember the incantation for swapping two lines. (It's ]e and [e for swap forward and swap backward.)

Switch buffers with :b or the ]b [b bindings from unimpaired.

and a nice toggle remap that I found here to edit Markdown without conceal: vim.keymap.set("n", "tc", ":setlocal =&conceallevel ? 'conceallevel=0' : 'conceallevel=2'", { desc = "[T]oggle [C]onceallevel"} )

imo there are even few plugin authors who actually understand this well, and certainly no distro author does. Some of the few examples of good "vim philosophy" plugins are vim-sneak and vim-unimpaired.

https://github.com/tpope/vim-unimpaired. I still use it a lot and it’s one of the few remaining vimscript plug-ins I have. It is also quite slow to load. It would be fantastic to have a Lua equivalent.
