vim imap automatically turns off the hassle of quotes… here is a solution to the problem.
vim imap automatically turns off the hassle of quotes
I managed to get the braces and parentheses that close automatically correctly :
imap { {<return><return>}<Esc>kcc
imap ( ()<Esc>i
However, quotation marks cannot be written like parentheses. If I write like this:
imap " ""<Esc>i
Enter an infinite loop. Why is this?
Then I wrote quotes like this:
imap " "<Esc>xPpi
There is also a problem with this. It eats a character inserted to the left. I fiddled with it a bit but couldn’t figure out how to map it correctly. Can someone help?
Solution
Try this :
inoremap " ""<Esc>i
This way it doesn’t apply the mapping to the mapping result (no resursion).
