Is there’s any config that make mini.pairs smarter?

All the information about the module is in its help file. Can you please be more specific?

sorry about that i didn't express my problem clearly.
In this case , I think it should not add } because it was already existed.

I am afraid this is not possible because 'mini.pairs' only "knows" about cursor's neighborhood when it "makes the decision" about whether to insert the whole pair or not. This is done for performance reasons: having to compute information about whether there is an unbalanced brackets on every key press of bracket's pair has high performance impact.

The best possible behavior here is to insert only a single { if there is a } to the right of cursor. Here is one example of how to do it:

require('mini.pairs').setup({
  mappings = {
    ['{'] = { neigh_pattern = '[^\\][^}]' },
  },
})
