## Description

auto-pairs is a Vim plugin that provides an extensible system for automatic bracket management and text manipulation. It automatically inserts and deletes matching brackets, parentheses, and quotes to increase editing efficiency.

The tool allows for the definition of custom single-character and multibyte opening and closing pairs, supporting complex delimiters such as comments or triple quotes.

It provides capabilities for wrapping blocks of text in pairs, navigating between corresponding characters, and formatting indented lines when pressing enter within a pair.
