Breaks '.'

I'm not sure if this is even fixable (and I've faced similar issues with other pairing plugins), but could it possibly be made to work with '.'.
Currently if I type ''i[Hello world]' and then hit '.' I only get the 'Hello World' and not the brackets. I understand they work as different actions, but unfortunately vim users are used to thinking of an insert action as a repeatable command.
This becomes even more tricky if you use this as part of a 'cw' (change word) type command, because it forgets the changing part of the action.

Hello srushti,
i[hello world is be expand to i[]<LEFT>hello world, and the <LEFT> break the '.'
Currently I haven't a good solution. maybe you already know, you could use complex repeat(macro) qq to start recording a macro 'q', press q to stop recording then use @q to repeat the macro, and use @@ to repeat it again and again.

srushti commented

Yeah, I can use a macro, but I'd really rather not have to do that every time.
After trying out a bunch of different plugins which does what yours does (and each of them failing the '.' test in different ways) I came across AutoClose which seems to use a different approach, but also doesn't have any customisability.

It might be worth looking into vim repeat to accomplish this.

jiangmiao commented

vim-repeat doesn't work for me，maybe I didn't configure vim-repeat write.
nmap . shows
n . * :<C-U>call <SNR>65_repeat(v:count)<CR>

I've been experiencing this problem fairly frequently lately - is this not fixed?

ptrin commented

@jiangmiao Is it necessary to use <LEFT>? Have you looked at getpos() and setpos() to move the cursor?

e.g.

function! MoveLeft()
    let l:curPos = getpos('.')
    call setpos('.',[curPos[0], curPos[1], curPos[2]-1, curPos[3]])
endfunction
jiangmiao commented

@ptrin I've tested code. But it cannot work. The function action won't be recorded. The code (foo) will be repeated as ()foo

unphased commented

So for future reference, using Ctrl+V to circumvent auto-pairs does work...

As long as you are careful to not trigger auto-pairs by escaping each of these open parens/brackets with Ctrl+V they will land in the dot register properly.

chrisbra commented

Note: Starting from version 7.4.849 you can use <C-G>Cursor to move within a line and not break undo/redo

muffinmad commented

@chrisbra <C-g>U<cursor> maybe?
@jiangmiao Take a look at :help i_CTRL-G_U please

jiangmiao commented

The issue should be fixed now.

unphased commented

Works great but only in nvim and not vim? Can anyone confirm?

muffinmad commented

@unphased Works fine in vim 7.4.1639. You need at least vim 7.4.849 i guess.

ianwitherow commented

It seems like new lines within a pair breaks repeating with '.'. Has anyone else experienced this?

For example:

function moo() {
    |  <- cursor
}

Pressing '.' after that only enters a blank line. Any ideas?
