    I love the idea of less-automatic pairs.

    I wish there was a plugin that keeps track of unclosed pairs, but instead of inserting them automatically, it just reminds you of them and their order.

    For some reason, inserting pairs automatically disorients me a bit.

        There’s a couple of ways I can see it:

        • highlights unclosed pairs
        • closing pairs shown as faded / gray text, kind of like some auto complete systems like copilot in vscode.
        • it could be some key bind you press, and it closes the next unclosed pair

        The following is less preferred but still works: maybe the status line or a pop up shows the order of unclosed pairs.
