How to automatically append "end" to ruby code blocks in vim?

Question

This is a feature I miss from Textmate. When you type out a def, if, block, etc. and hit enter, the editor automatically appends "end" to the code block and puts the cursor in between.

How do I set this up in vim?

Thanks!

Answer 1

There is a plugin that does just that: endwise.vim.

Answer 2

Two vim plugins come to mind that get a lot of recommendations:

• snipMate. See the screencast for an overview.
• rails.vim

I'll also recommend the Surround and Align plugins as being really useful. And, I just just started working with Command-T and it looks useful too.
