Autopairs for triple backticks about mini.nvim HOT 10 CLOSED

I meant that functionality of "Type something which expands to ``` ``` or similar" is more suited for snippets (predefined and configurable set of expandable text). More info:

• https://github.com/L3MON4D3/LuaSnip
• https://github.com/rafamadriz/friendly-snippets (in particular this snippet, which you can modify to your taste)

Using snippets feels like an overkill. I will stick to nvim-autopairs for now
but I'd love to see this functionality getting implemented in mini.pairs.

got it! tks for the reply and for all the plugins

Thanks for suggestion, but no, this won't get implemented. mini.pairs is intended to work only for single "open" and "close" characters. I feel that snippets are better for this kind of task.

What snippets?

Is there an alternative to triple backticks?

Hi, in the case for triple backticks, if I input the third backtick, can mini.pairs ignore it and not insert the fourth backtick?

Unfortunately no. See this comment.

hmm I got it that we can't work with pairs of triple backticks. But can we ignore the second pair of single backticks? Like mini.pairs already ignore ' after a letter.

Right now, after ``, if I hit ` again, I get 4 backticks and my cursor is between the third and fourth backtick.

Ah, sorry, I misread my own comment.

But the answer is still a no, because 'mini.pairs' "knows" only about single character to its left and single character to its right when making a decision whether to insert a pair or not. So having a logic "if there are two backticks to the left then insert single backtick" is not designed to be done in 'mini.pairs'.

Hey @georgeguimaraes , maybe this solution makes your life a little easier

#255 (comment)

        ['`'] = { action = 'closeopen', pair = '``', neigh_pattern = '[^\\`].', register = { cr = false } },

This would avoid the fourth backtick
