Autopair
Auto-complete matching pairs (parentheses, brackets, quotes) in the Fish shell command line.
What is Autopair?
autopair.fish is a plugin for the Fish shell that automatically manages matching character pairs like parentheses, brackets, and quotes during command-line typing. It inserts pairs, deletes them together on backspace, and skips over already-closed pairs to streamline editing.
Fish shell users who frequently type commands involving nested syntax, scripts, or quoted strings and want to reduce manual pairing errors.
It eliminates the need to manually close pairs or fix mismatched characters, integrating directly into Fish's interactive workflow without disrupting tab completions or other shell features.
