feature request—ability to add exceptions to b:closetag_emptyTags about vim-closetag HOT 6 CLOSED

Hi @jackkinsella
Do you have any suggestion for this feature?
Currently you can use :CloseTagDisableBuffer to temporarily disable the completion function.

I guess the approach would be to define a g:closetag_emptyTags setting that can be used within .vimrc, the contents of which then gets appended to the internal b:closetag_emptyTags.

I've never done any vim scripting before, so I wouldn't be able to do this without diving in pretty deep. But if I get a spare Saturday I might give it a shot.

Hi @jackkinsella
The problem is, per your requirement, the b:closetag_emptyTags depends on the filetype you are editing like jsx, so it won't be a good idea that just add a global variable to define it.
And also, I am not sure if you can define a full list of all empty tags for jsx or not.
Because from your demo code, I saw you are typing <any> tag.

I realised that my first message was a bit vague so I'll just clarify for anyone else reading the thread: I meant that in JSX/flow you sometimes literally type <any> and <*> i.e. both "any" and "*" are the actual tag names that need to be input, as opposed to placeholders/regexes for patterns of tags.

But, clarification aside, you are right @alvan, there are other tags necessary and adding them all one-by-one could be tedious.

Perhaps another, more general solution would be some keyword shortcut that closes the first tag without adding a second parallel closing tag. For example, imagine I have typed
<any| where | represents my cursor position. It would be cool if I could type some shortcut (e.g. <c->> if possible ) to end up with <any>.

@jackkinsella
I've added a new shortcut for this let g:closetag_close_shortcut = '<leader>>',
you can try it and feel free to config it by yourself.

Works perfectly! Thanks a million. I'll update the readme for you and make a pull-request.
