autopair.fish

Auto-complete matching pairs in the Fish command line.

Automatically insert, erase, and skip matching pairs as you type in the command-line: (), [], {}, "", and ''. E.g., pressing ( inserts () and positions the cursor in between the parentheses. Hopefully.

Insert matching pairs.
Terminal window
```
$ echo ⎢ # Let's say ⎪ is the cursor!
```
” 🥊
Terminal window
```
$ echo "⎪"
```
Erase pairs on backspace:
Terminal window
```
$ echo "Hey⎪"
```
Backspace 🥊🥊🥊
Terminal window
```
$ echo "⎪"
```
Backspace 🥊
Terminal window
```
$ echo ⎪
```
Skip over matched pairs:
Terminal window
```
$ echo "Hey⎪"
```
” 🥊
Terminal window
```
$ echo "Hey"⎪
```

Gracefully handle Tab completions for variables while inside double quotes.

$ echo "$fish_color_⎪"

Tab 🥊

$ echo "$fish_color_⎪
"$fish_color_autosuggestion   (Variable: '555' 'brblack')
"$fish_color_cancel           (Variable: -r)
"$fish_color_command          (Variable: blue)
"$fish_color_comment          (Variable: red)
...
