I used to use this setting in .vimrc:
inoremap \( (
inoremap ( ()<LEFT>
But escape bracket every time for
second\(first();
is a little bit stressful. (typed “first()”, then move to the head of the line, typing “second”, back slash and bracket)
Here is an improved script:
function! CompleteDetachedBracket()
let line = line('.')
let col = [...]
