Make Vim Curly Braces, Square Braces, Parens act like Textmate

Question

So I guess I'm not searching for the right thing but I'm looking to see how you can get VIM to act like Textmate when it comes to writing a set of curly braces, parens, or square brackets hit enter and you get this. Pipe indicates cursor.

      function doSomething(){
          |
      }

      #selector{
          |
      }

Instead of this garbage

      function doSomething(){
      |}

      #selector{
      |}

I already have the [{( closing each other when they are typed just the return and indentation is jacked. As usual any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

I use the following mappings in my .vimrc:

inoremap {<cr> {<cr>}<c-o>O<tab>
inoremap [<cr> [<cr>]<c-o>O<tab>
inoremap (<cr> (<cr>)<c-o>O<tab>

So when I input:

function foo(){<cr>

I get:

function foo(){
    |
}

Similar with (<cr> and [<cr>.

A note to delimitMate users

When using the delimitMate plugin, the mappings of the other answers interfere with the plugin. Luckily, this behavior is already available in delimitMate (but disabled by default), by setting the delmitMateExpansion options. E.g. add

let delimitMate_expand_cr = 1

to your .vimrc
