endwise.vim is a Vim plugin that automatically adds matching end structures when you press Enter, such as adding `end` after Ruby `if`/`def`/`do` blocks or `endif`/`endfunction` in Vimscript. It supports many languages including Ruby, Vimscript, shell, Lua, Elixir, Haskell, Matlab, Crystal, Verilog, and Jinja templates, and never inserts an end keyword if one already exists.

Use cases

• automatically add end after if def do in ruby
• auto-close blocks in vim when pressing enter
• add endif and endfunction automatically in vimscript
• vim plugin to complete lua and elixir block endings
• stop forgetting to close blocks in vim
• auto-insert matching end keywords for multiple languages in vim

When to choose

• you write Ruby, Vimscript, Lua, Elixir, or other supported languages in Vim and want block ends inserted automatically
• you want a lightweight, conservative plugin that never inserts an erroneous end keyword
• you use Vim's native package support or any plugin manager

When to avoid

• you use Neovim with Lua-based alternatives like nvim-autopairs that cover this behavior
• your language is not among the supported filetypes and you don't want to write custom autocmd configuration
• you want full IDE-style auto-indentation and snippet expansion rather than just end insertion
