Vim smart insert semicolon

Question

Is there a Vim plugin that can handle smart semicolon insertion, like the one in Eclipse?

Example (pipe character is insertion cursor):

foobar(|) 

I type a semicolon:

foobar();| 

Similarly:

foobar("blah|") 

I type a semicolon:

foobar("blah");| 

If I want a semicolon at the original cursor position, I press backspace after the smart re-position:

foobar("hello|") foobar("hello");| foobar("hello;|") 

Answer 1

I use this mapping:

inoremap <leader>; <C-o>A; 

It's not ; because I use semicolons often and in more than one context.

• <C-o> is used to input a single normal mode command.
• A; means "add a ; at the end of the line".

Answer 2

I want to do the same thing, I works on it whole night, tons of code, but at last, I got a simple solution.

inoremap ;<cr> <end>;<cr> 

and if I am in a brace, I want to add a semicolon or a dot at the end, like this

foo({   | }) 

I press ;;<cr> or ..<cr> to do this

inoremap ;<cr> <end>;<cr> inoremap .<cr> <end>. inoremap ;;<cr> <down><end>;<cr> inoremap ..<cr> <down><end>.
