## What it is
delimitMate is a Vim plugin that automatically closes quotes, parentheses, and brackets in insert mode, with syntax awareness and configurable expansions. It is highly customizable via global variables or per-filetype autocmds.

## Use cases
- auto-close brackets and quotes in vim
- automatically insert closing parenthesis when typing
- vim plugin for auto-completing delimiters
- prevent closing delimiters inside comments
- expand carriage return and space between paired delimiters
- wrap visual selection in quotes or brackets

## When to choose
- you use Vim or Neovim and want automatic delimiter balancing in insert mode
- you want syntax-aware auto-closing that skips comments and strings
- you need per-filetype control over auto-close behavior

## When to avoid
- you use an IDE or editor with built-in auto-closing
- you prefer a minimal Vim setup without insert-mode mappings
- you need a plugin for editors other than Vim
