| Highlighting matching parens *matchparen* |
| |
| The functionality mentioned here is a |standard-plugin|. |
| This plugin is only available if 'compatible' is not set. |
| |
| You can avoid loading this plugin by setting the "loaded_matchparen" variable: > |
| :let loaded_matchparen = 1 |
| |
| The plugin installs CursorMoved autocommands to redefine the match |
| highlighting. |
| |
| To disable the plugin after it was loaded use this command: > |
| |
| :NoMatchParen |
| |
| And to enable it again: > |
| |
| :DoMatchParen |
| |
| The highlighting used is MatchParen. You can specify different colors with |
| the ":highlight" command. Example: > |
| |
| :hi MatchParen ctermbg=blue guibg=lightblue |
| |
| The characters to be matched come from the 'matchpairs' option. You can |
| change the value to highlight different matches. Note that not everything is |
| possible. For example, you can't highlight single or double quotes, because |
| the start and end are equal. |
| |
| The syntax highlighting attributes are used. When the cursor currently is not |
| in a string or comment syntax item, then matches inside string and comment |
| syntax items are ignored. Any syntax items with "string" or "comment" |
| somewhere in their name are considered string or comment items. |
| |
| The search is limited to what is visible in the window. The plugin doesn't |
| search further than 100 lines to avoid a long delay when there are closed |
| folds. |
