Keys that autopair use should be able to perform their original actions after this plugin loaded

[kutsan]

zsh-autopair overrides some existing keys like ", ' and such. Those keys can't be used with their original behaviour after zsh-autopair sourced if users have existing widgets for that.

Recently, owner of this plugin added two fallback for ^? (Backspace) and (Space) keys but apparently more general solution needed.

[hlissner]

Alright, a more generalized solution is in place. Let me know if it gives you any trouble.

[kutsan]

Commit a01f074 introducing a new error. It breaks the zsh-syntax-highlighting plugin and its some features are not working correctly. Everything is okay under b486f0d.

By the way, your solution isn't working even if we ignore this error. I write bindkey -M viins '^?' vi-forward-char to my .zshrc for testing purposes, before sourcing zsh-autopair. It didn't work out.

[hlissner]

I found the problem and pushed a fix. Let me know if it gives you trouble!

[kutsan]

Well, I have still the same problem. I can confirm I am on e73053d.

[z0rc]

I don't want to derail the plugin development, but may the features be developed in separate branches, rather then in master?

[kutsan]

@z0rc I agree with that.

[hlissner]

Agreed. Sorry, should've done that from the start. I've effectively reset master to b0a995a and moved this feature to the widget-fallback branch (which I'll put up soon).

[kutsan]

Also, I wouldn't force push if I were you. Now, probably someone dealing with their weird looking git history and wondering what went wrong. There is safe alternative for that.

[hlissner]

I apologize for any trouble, but I understand the pitfalls. Also, --force-with-lease's selling point is it prevents overwriting "unpulled" commits on the remote. It wouldn't have made a difference here.

In any case, your feature is now in widget-fallbacks, could you try it out? If it doesn't work, would you also mind trying develop too? I haven't had much luck reproducing your past issues across several computers and docker images; I'd like to be certain.

[kutsan]

Okay here's my report with this lines in my config.

bindkey -M viins '^?' backward-kill-word
source "$ZDOTDIR/plugins/zsh-autopair/autopair.zsh"

In develop branch, everything is like that. My binding works but there is nothing left of autopair. Backspace always deletes word backwards. Whereas it should have deleted the last pair if there is one.

In widget-fallbacks branch, everything still looks the same like I said above. It breaks zsh-syntax-highlighting and binding doesn't work at all. autopair and its other features works though.
