description

Vrackets helps you a lot by auto-closing the brackets you type. For instance, if you type "(", you get:     (|) ("|" is the cursor.) You can easily get out of the brackets by typing the closing bracket. If after that you type ")", you get:     ()| Lastly, brackets are auto-deleted if they are empty. For instance, if your screen looks like this:     FooBar(|) And you press backspace, you get this:     FooBar| By default it works for (), [], {}, "" and ''. It also works for ¡! and ¿?, for spanish speakers ;). You can add more easily if you want (like <>, but I wouldn't recommend it unless for html/xml/etc).

install details

Download it and use :source path/to/the/script/vrackets.vim to try it. If you want it to load automatically every time you start vim, put it in ~/.vim/plugin, or $HOME\vimfiles\plugin if you use Windows.
