## What it is
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
