Pressing Enter inside two braces in insert mode

[Steve]

If I have typed this (‘|’ is cursor position):

class Something {|}

when I press return, I would like to see this

class Something {
|
}

I know I can do this with the key sequence <Enter><Esc>O

but is there a plugin available that most people use for situations inside a pair of (),[], {}, <>, etc?

I'm sure that there are vim plugins to do this. Search the vim.org page for a vim script for automatic formatting that language you are programming in.

This vim list has a smaller audience as it primarily is related to the macvim port of vim.

Asking this question on the main vim list will get you a larger audience. After searching the vim scripts.

I've actually done this without using any plugins using a simple
mapping:

inoremap {<cr> {<cr>}<esc>O

The bonus is that you don't have to even type the closing } :)
