smoother custom pairs

[Sam-programs]

#396
sorry for bringing this up again but i tested nvim_win_set_cursor and it never broke the undo blocks only arrow keys broke them

vim.keymap.set("i", "<C-r>", function()
   local set_cursor = vim.api.nvim_win_set_cursor
   local r,c = unpack(vim.api.nvim_win_get_cursor(0))
   set_cursor(0,{r,c + 1})
   set_cursor(0,{r - 1,c + 2})
   set_cursor(0,{r - 1,c - 2})
   set_cursor(0,{1,0})
   set_cursor(0,{r,c})
end)

jump_to_last_pair is safe to add to make custom pairs smoother

On mapping, I want to use mapping by key only. Using API functions like set_cursor or set_text might interfere with other plugins. I'm not sure what you mean by 'smoother.' What does this pull request aim to achieve?.

[Sam-programs]

well say we define a custom rule for lua then's

  rule("then","end","lua")

the cursor moves/draws twice when we press n

 the|
 thene|nd
 thenend|

because of ctrl-g
it's more noticable in single byte pairs like adding a custom () pair

i think i found a better way with lazy drawing

[Sam-programs]

yea lazyredrawing seems to make everything super clean with no weird cursor movements

[Sam-programs]

@windwp here is what i mean by smoother

proof.mp4

in the video it moves the cursor 2 times at second 5 and second 6(the end),
i am not even using vim.api.* functions anymore just setting lazy-redrawing
and sorry for the quality i didn't have my obs setup properly while recording this

[Sam-programs]

also can't we pre-escape keys in utils.lua
instead of having to call utils.esc each time we use them?
