Shortcuts

System Shortcuts:
    <CR>  : Insert new indented line after return if cursor in blank brackets or quotes.
    <BS>  : Delete brackets in pair

TroubleShooting

The script will remap keys ([{'"}]) <BS>,
If auto pairs cannot work, use :imap ( to check if the map is corrected.
The correct map should be <C-R>=AutoPairsInsert("\(")<CR>
Or the plugin conflict with some other plugins.
use command :call AutoPairsInit() to remap the keys.

How to insert parens purely

There are 3 ways
1. use Ctrl-V ) to insert paren without trigger the plugin.
2. use Alt-P to turn off the plugin.
3. use DEL or x to delete the character insert by plugin.
Swedish Character Conflict

Because AutoPairs uses Meta(Alt) key as shortcut, it is conflict with some Swedish character such as å. To fix the issue, you need remap or disable the related shortcut.

Known Issues

Breaks '.' - issue #3

Description: After entering insert mode and inputing `[hello` then leave insert
             mode by `<ESC>`. press '.' will insert 'hello' instead of '[hello]'.
Reason: `[` actually equals `[]\<LEFT>` and \<LEFT> will break '.'.
        After version 7.4.849, Vim implements new keyword <C-G>U to avoid the break
Solution: Update Vim to 7.4.849+
