help with custom mapping about vim-smartinput HOT 2 CLOSED

Thank you for the feedback. How about the following configuration?

call smartinput#map_to_trigger('i', '#', '#', '#')
call smartinput#map_to_trigger('i', '<Bar>', '<Bar>', '<Bar>')

call smartinput#define_rule({'at': '\%#', 'char': '#', 'input': '#{}<Left>', 'filetype': ['ruby'], 'syntax': ['Constant', 'Special']})
call smartinput#define_rule({'at': '\%#', 'char': '<Bar>', 'input': '<Bar><Bar><Left>', 'filetype': ['ruby']})

| has a special meaning in key mappings. So that it should be written in another form <Bar>.

input items in rules are internally passed to :map commands. So that special keys must be written like '<Left>' instead of "\<Left>".

If you edit a Ruby script and the current buffer contains a text 'foo',

• The opening ' is highlighted as Constant (over Special).
• Quoted text is highlighted as Constant.
• The closing ' is highlighted as Special.

So that the syntax item of the former rule must contain also Special.

You can use the following command to check how the character under the cursor is highlighted:

echo map(synstack(line('.'), col('.')), 'synIDattr(synIDtrans(v:val), "name")')

Additionally, | is often used as foo ||= bar, it's better to use the latter rule if the cursor is just after { or do, isn't it?

call smartinput#define_rule({'at': '\({\|\<do\>\)\s*\%#', 'char': '<Bar>', 'input': '<Bar><Bar><Left>', 'filetype': ['ruby']})

Since I wrote vim-smartinput for my personal use, I've never thought that it is used by others. And it's a bit tricky to write rules involving special keys. I'll add more description to the document.
