I use nvim-paredit, and that allows me to hit >) which moves the closing ) forward/to the right.

Is it as simple as ensuring there is more space between :foobar and the () insertion point (e.g. add another space then move back and insert parens)

I'm using https://github.com/gpanders/nvim-parinfer branch master, commit 5ca0928 and don't get the same behavior. If it's a Clojure keyword the parens doesn't wrap. If it's a symbol name, then it is wrapped by parens

With parinfer, typing the closing parens ) where it should go will automatically update the structure correctly.

Not sure if this makes a difference, but I set parinfer_force_balance = true

{
    "gpanders/nvim-parinfer",
    ft = { "clojure" },
    init = function()
      vim.g.parinfer_force_balance = true
      vim.g.parinfer_comment_chars = ";;"
    end,
  },

hey @U05254DQM thanks for the replies! I installed gpanders/nvim-parinfer and I can't get the same behavior as cursive, I tried the parinfer_force_balance configuration too but it didn't change a thing :white_frowning_face: if you have the following map: {:foo bar} by typing ( after the right-side space of :foo, does the parens enclose the bar? becoming (bar) like cursive?

To get (bar) in that expression I put the cursor on top of b and press i for insert mode, then ( will wrap to give (bar) If the cursor is on top of the space between :foo and bar then I get {:foo() bar}
