                                                                     *MiniPairs*
Minimal and fast autopairs.

Features:
- Functionality to work with 'paired' characters conditional on cursor's
  neighborhood (two characters to its left and right).
- Usage should be through making appropriate mappings using |MiniPairs.map|
  or in |MiniPairs.setup| (for global mapping), |MiniPairs.map_buf| (for
  buffer mapping).
- Pairs get automatically registered to be recognized by `<BS>` and `<CR>`.

What it doesn't do:
- It doesn't support multiple characters as "open" and "close" symbols. Use
  snippets for that.
- It doesn't support dependency on filetype. Use |i_CTRL-V| to insert
  single symbol or `autocmd` command or 'after/ftplugin' approach to:
    - `lua MiniPairs.map_buf(0, 'i', <*>, <pair_info>)` : make new mapping
      for '<*>' in current buffer.
    - `lua MiniPairs.unmap_buf(0, 'i', <*>, <pair>)`: unmap key `<*>` while
      unregistering `<pair>` pair in current buffer. Note: this reverts
      mapping done by |MiniPairs.map_buf|. If mapping was done with
      |MiniPairs.map|, unmap for buffer in usual Neovim manner:
      `inoremap <buffer> <*> <*>` (this maps `<*>` key to do the same it
      does by default).
    - Disable module for buffer (see 'Disabling' section).

# Setup~

This module needs a setup with `require('mini.pairs').setup({})`
(replace `{}` with your `config` table). It will create global Lua table
`MiniPairs` which you can use for scripting or manually (with
`:lua MiniPairs.*`).

See |MiniPairs.config| for `config` structure and default values.

This module doesn't have runtime options, so using `vim.b.minipairs_config`
will have no effect here.

# Example mappings~

- Register quotes inside `config` of |MiniPairs.setup|: >
  mappings = {
    ['"'] = { register = { cr = true } },
    ["'"] = { register = { cr = true } },
  }
<
- Insert `<>` pair if `<` is typed at line start, don't register for `<CR>`: >
  lua MiniPairs.map('i', '<', { action = 'open', pair = '<>', neigh_pattern = '\r.', register = { cr = false } })
  lua MiniPairs.map('i', '>', { action = 'close', pair = '<>', register = { cr = false } })
<
- Create symmetrical `$$` pair only in Tex files: >
  au FileType tex lua MiniPairs.map_buf(0, 'i', '$', {action = 'closeopen', pair = '$$'})
<
# Notes~

- Make sure to make proper mapping of `<CR>` in order to support completion
  plugin of your choice:
    - For |MiniCompletion| see 'Helpful key mappings' section.
    - For current implementation of "hrsh7th/nvim-cmp" there is no need to
      make custom mapping. You can use default setup, which will confirm
      completion selection if popup is visible and expand pair otherwise.
- Having mapping in terminal mode can conflict with:
    - Autopairing capabilities of interpretators (`ipython`, `radian`).
    - Vim mode of terminal itself.

# Disabling~

To disable, set `g:minipairs_disable` (globally) or `b:minipairs_disable`
(for a buffer) to `v:true`. Considering high number of different scenarios
and customization intentions, writing exact rules for disabling module's
functionality is left to user. See |mini.nvim-disabling-recipes| for common
recipes.

    -- Global mappings. Each right hand side should be a pair information, a
    -- table with at least these fields (see more in |MiniPairs.map|):

              `MiniPairs.map`({mode}, {lhs}, {pair_info}, {opts})
Make global mapping

This is a wrapper for |nvim_set_keymap()| but instead of right hand side of
mapping (as string) it expects table with pair information:
- `action` - one of "open" (for |MiniPairs.open|), "close" (for
  |MiniPairs.close|), or "closeopen" (for |MiniPairs.closeopen|).
- `pair` - two character string to be used as argument for action function.
- `neigh_pattern` - optional 'two character' neighborhood pattern to be
  used as argument for action function. Default: '..' (no restriction from
  neighborhood).
- `register` - optional table with information about whether this pair
  should be recognized by `<BS>` (in |MiniPairs.bs|) and/or `<CR>` (in
  |MiniPairs.cr|). Should have boolean elements `bs` and `cr` which are
  both `true` by default (if not overriden explicitly).

Using this function instead of |nvim_set_keymap()| allows automatic
registration of pairs which will be recognized by `<BS>` and `<CR>`.
For Neovim>=0.7 it also infers mapping description from `pair_info`.

Parameters~
{mode} `(string)` `mode` for |nvim_set_keymap()|.
{lhs} `(string)` `lhs` for |nvim_set_keymap()|.
{pair_info} `(table)` Table with pair information.
{opts} `(table)` Optional table `opts` for |nvim_set_keymap()|. Elements
  `expr` and `noremap` won't be recognized (`true` by default).

                                                           *MiniPairs.map_buf()*
       `MiniPairs.map_buf`({buffer}, {mode}, {lhs}, {pair_info}, {opts})
Make buffer mapping

This is a wrapper for |nvim_buf_set_keymap()| but instead of string right
hand side of mapping it expects table with pair information similar to one
in |MiniPairs.map|.

Using this function instead of |nvim_buf_set_keymap()| allows automatic
registration of pairs which will be recognized by `<BS>` and `<CR>`.
For Neovim>=0.7 it also infers mapping description from `pair_info`.

Parameters~
{buffer} `(number)` `buffer` for |nvim_buf_set_keymap()|.
{mode} `(string)` `mode` for |nvim_buf_set_keymap()|.
{lhs} `(string)` `lhs` for |nvim_buf_set_keymap()|.
{pair_info} `(table)` Table with pair information.
{opts} `(table)` Optional table `opts` for |nvim_buf_set_keymap()|.
  Elements `expr` and `noremap` won't be recognized (`true` by default).

                                                             *MiniPairs.unmap()*
                    `MiniPairs.unmap`({mode}, {lhs}, {pair})
Remove global mapping

A wrapper for |nvim_del_keymap()| which registers supplied `pair`.

Parameters~
{mode} `(string)` `mode` for |nvim_del_keymap()|.
{lhs} `(string)` `lhs` for |nvim_del_keymap()|.
{pair} `(string)` Pair which should be unregistered from both
  `<BS>` and `<CR>`. Should be explicitly supplied to avoid confusion.
  Supply `''` to not unregister pair.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                         *MiniPairs.unmap_buf()*
             `MiniPairs.unmap_buf`({buffer}, {mode}, {lhs}, {pair})
Remove buffer mapping

Wrapper for |nvim_buf_del_keymap()| which also unregisters supplied `pair`.

Note: this only reverts mapping done by |MiniPairs.map_buf|. If mapping was
done with |MiniPairs.map|, unmap for buffer in usual Neovim manner:
`inoremap <buffer> <*> <*>` (this maps `<*>` key to do the same it does by
default).

Parameters~
{buffer} `(number)` `buffer` for |nvim_buf_del_keymap()|.
{mode} `(string)` `mode` for |nvim_buf_del_keymap()|.
{lhs} `(string)` `lhs` for |nvim_buf_del_keymap()|.
{pair} `(string)` Pair which should be unregistered from both
  `<BS>` and `<CR>`. Should be explicitly supplied to avoid confusion.
  Supply `''` to not unregister pair.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                              *MiniPairs.open()*
                   `MiniPairs.open`({pair}, {neigh_pattern})
Process "open" symbols

Used as |map-expr| mapping for "open" symbols in asymmetric pair ('(', '[',
etc.). If neighborhood doesn't match supplied pattern, function results
into "open" symbol. Otherwise, it pastes whole pair and moves inside pair
with |<Left>|.

Used inside |MiniPairs.map| and |MiniPairs.map_buf| for an actual mapping.

Parameters~
{pair} `(string)` String with two characters representing pair.
{neigh_pattern} `(string)` Pattern for two neighborhood characters ("\r" line
  start, "\n" - line end).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                             *MiniPairs.close()*
                   `MiniPairs.close`({pair}, {neigh_pattern})
Process "close" symbols

Used as |map-expr| mapping for "close" symbols in asymmetric pair (')',
']', etc.). If neighborhood doesn't match supplied pattern, function
results into "close" symbol. Otherwise it jumps over symbol to the right of
cursor (with |<Right>|) if it is equal to "close" one and inserts it
otherwise.

Used inside |MiniPairs.map| and |MiniPairs.map_buf| for an actual mapping.

Parameters~
{pair} `(string)` String with two characters representing pair.
{neigh_pattern} `(string)` Pattern for two neighborhood characters ("\r" line
  start, "\n" - line end).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                         *MiniPairs.closeopen()*
                 `MiniPairs.closeopen`({pair}, {neigh_pattern})
Process "closeopen" symbols

Used as |map-expr| mapping for 'symmetrical' symbols (from pairs '""',
'\'\'', '``').  It tries to perform 'closeopen action': move over right
character (with |<Right>|) if it is equal to second character from pair or
conditionally paste pair otherwise (with |MiniPairs.open()|).

Used inside |MiniPairs.map| and |MiniPairs.map_buf| for an actual mapping.

Parameters~
{pair} `(string)` String with two characters representing pair.
{neigh_pattern} `(string)` Pattern for two neighborhood characters ("\r" line
  start, "\n" - line end).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                *MiniPairs.bs()*
                                `MiniPairs.bs`()
Process |<BS>|

Used as |map-expr| mapping for `<BS>`. It removes whole pair (via
`<BS><Del>`) if neighborhood is equal to a whole pair recognized for
current buffer. Pair is recognized for current buffer if it is registered
for global or current buffer mapping. Pair is registered as a result of
calling |MiniPairs.map| or |MiniPairs.map_buf|.

Mapped by default inside |MiniPairs.setup|.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                *MiniPairs.cr()*
                                `MiniPairs.cr`()
Process |i_<CR>|

Used as |map-expr| mapping for `<CR>` in insert mode. It puts "close"
symbol on next line (via `<CR><C-o>O`) if neighborhood is equal to a whole
pair recognized for current buffer. Pair is recognized for current buffer
if it is registered for global or current buffer mapping. Pair is
registered as a result of calling |MiniPairs.map| or |MiniPairs.map_buf|.

Mapped by default inside |MiniPairs.setup|.
