I want to automate some routine operations when working with LaTeX documents writing, e.g. I often write these lines:

\begin{<environment-name>}
some text and commands here
\end{<environment-name>}

Where <environment-name> is different environments (e.g. enumerate, description, and many others).

When I start \begin{<environment-name>}, I want to make vim (neovim) automatically add \end{<environment-name>} at the next line and return the cursor back, right after \begin{<environment-name>}. What vim script I can use to automate it?

I already checked this answer but it doesn't work for me, since it's about new command, not auto insertion of text.

You can do this with surround.vim (endwise doesnt have it out of the box, but it might be able to handle it) – D. Ben Knoble Nov 06 '20 at 13:12

With vimtex, you can close the environment with the insert mode mapping ]]. – Karl Yngve Lervåg Nov 06 '20 at 13:44
