Is there any way to use `tsd` to toggle delimiters in insert mode?

[pilgrimlyieu]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe it.

<plug>(vimtex-delim-toggle-modifier) is useful. However, it will be better if I can toggle it as soon as I insert delimiters in insert mode.

Describe the solution you'd like

Support using <plug>(vimtex-delim-toggle-modifier) or any other way to enable a key mapping for insert mode.

Thanks!

I've pushed a minor fix just now. With this, you can create that map yourself. The following example should work:

imap <f7> <esc><plug>(vimtex-delim-toggle-modifier)a

I would add this in one of two ways:

1. Add it to your personal ftplugin/tex.vim. This is what I recommend.

2. Alternatively, add the mapping in your vimrc or init.vim file under an autocommand, something like this:

   augroup vimrc
     autocmd!
     autocmd FileType tex imap <f7> <esc><plug>(vimtex-delim-toggle-modifier)a
   augroup END

This way, you only apply the mapping when VimTeX is loaded.

That works.

However, it will change the position of the cursor. Here is an example.

imap <f7> <esc><plug>(vimtex-delim-toggle-modifier)a

$$
(aaa)<cursor>
$$

Then press F7.

$$
\left(aaa\right)<cursor>
$$

Press again.

$$
(<cursor>aaa)
$$

Sorry, there was a minor error in the positioning calculation. I've fixed it now, please test again.

That works. But still has a minor issue.

$$
\{aaa\}<cursor>
$$

Then press F7.

$$
\left\{aaa\right\<cursor>}
$$

Press again.

$$
\{aaa\<cursor>}
$$

Thanks; nice edge case. I'll fix it as soon as I get the time!

[lervag]

I believe this should be fixed now, please test.
