Question

flash.enable = true;

Let's say I have the above situation
now I want to change this to

flash = {
  settings = something;
  enable = true;
};

when i try to add {} at . in between of flash.enable i expect enable to be pushed down a line.

currently it stays like flash{}enable but i want it to go like

flash{}
enable

this behavior will make it easier

Sorry, but this behavior doesn't fit a design of 'mini.pairs' at all. The current behavior does, as it inserts a pair. For a more complex editing, use Normal mode actions/operators. For example, from 'mini.surround'.

But in this particular case I'd do something like this:

• Put cursor on the . in Normal mode.
• Press x to remove the dot.
• Press C to remove all the text to the right (which puts enable = true; in the " register) and starts Insert mode.
• Press { to insert a {} pair.
• Press <CR> to start new line from inside braces.
• Press <C-R>" to insert contents of " register.

I am doing it in this way; though I understand this is not the way mini.pairs is meant to be, is there any hacky way I can force the addition of new line after } brackets by overriding configuration?

I am afraid not through dedicated configuration of 'mini.pairs'. Maybe with some hacks, but Id' not recommend that.
