How can I go to end of parenthesis/brackets/quotes without switching insert mode in Vim?

Question

I\'m looking for a plugin that makes you get out of parenthesis/brackets/quotes/etc when you\'re inside them. I find it kind of hard having to ESC to command mode and typing A t

Answer 1

I'm use to using Tab to jump out of things like parenthesis, curly braces, etc., so I just made a simple mapping to Shift+Tab that simply moves the character 1 character to the right from INSERT mode. Here's my simple mapping that seems to be just fine for my purposes.

inoremap <S-Tab> <esc>la

Edit: It seems that delimitMate has this same mapping (Shift+Tab) for jumping over a closing delimiter. I think i'll just use that since I already use delimitMate.

Answer 2

Since I use auto-pairs plugin, I have changed its default g:AutoPairsShortcutJump option

" Jump outside '"({
if !exists('g:AutoPairsShortcutJump')
  let g:AutoPairsShortcutJump = '<C-l>'
endif

Now it's easy not only to jump ouside pairs but also insert them.

Answer 3

A plugin would be overkill. Add this mapping to your ~/.vimrc:

inoremap <C-e> <C-o>A

• <C-o> is used to issue a normal mode command without leaving insert mode.
• A, well… you know what it does.

Answer 4

If you install the delimitMate plugin you can achieve this with the <S-e> or <C-g>g mapping.
