Is there any insert mode mapping?

Hi @machakann ,

I am wondering if there is a way to insert pairs of surroundings in insert mode?

Like insert mode mapping on <C-G>s and <C-S> of vim-surround:

Thanks

No, since I haven't used it. Could it be useful?

I am writing a blog post about vim-sandwich in Chinese.

I want to show some examples based on vim-surround experience. In the other words, I would like to fulfill some vim-surround functions in vim-sandwich way, so I can do comparison between these two plugins easily.

For example, the below text
'Hello World'

Using vim-surround command cS'<p> will replace ' with tag <p> and a new line:
<p>
Hello World
</p>

How to do the same thing using vim-sandwich?

Please advice. Thank you.

I'm not the package author, but you can achieve almost the same behavior using sr'Tp. It will change 'Hello' to <p>Hello</p>, without the newline. I'm not sure how to add this newline automatically.

Useful for autoclosing functionality.
With vim surround you could:

provides Ctrl-s (same line surrounds) and Ctrl-s-s (spread over three lines) when in insert mode to add surrounds.
Some examples in insert mode, vertical line is cursor:

Ctrl-s ( --> (|)

Ctrl-s [ --> [ | ]

Ctrl-s ] --> [|]

Ctrl-s

-->
