## What it is
A Vim plugin that automatically inserts, deletes, and manages matching brackets, parentheses, and quotes in pairs. It adds conveniences like indented newlines inside pairs, space padding, fast wrapping, and quick jumping to closing characters.

## Use cases
- auto-close brackets and quotes in vim
- delete matching bracket pairs with backspace
- insert indented line between curly braces
- wrap selected text in parentheses quickly
- jump to matching closing bracket in vim
- support multibyte pairs like <!-- -->

## When to choose
- you use Vim or Neovim and want automatic bracket/quote pairing
- you want lightweight, configurable pair editing without a full completion framework

## When to avoid
- you use an IDE or editor with built-in auto-pairing
- you need a plugin with an explicit license or active development guarantees

- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: maintenance
- function: editor, developer-tools
- domain: text-editors, developer-tools
- platform: editor-plugin, cross-platform
- tags: vim, auto-pairs, brackets, code-editing
