Hello, I am a neovim regular, with a bloated (200+ plugins) but fast (170-200 110-90 (90-70 using standard metric) ms startup time) lua config.
I visit the neovim discord almost every day.
The current thing that I do is an autopair plugin with the goal of having every possible feature an autopair plugin needs.

Minipost:

I recommend imap <cr> to <C-o>o

Why?

Because it is much more common to <esc>o than <cr>.

What if I want to <cr>?

You can still use <C-j>.
