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, CursorMovedI and WinEnter autocommands to
|
|
redefine the match highlighting.
|
|
|
|
*:NoMatchParen* *:DoMatchParen*
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
By default the plugin will highlight both the paren under the cursor and the
|
|
matching one using the |hl-MatchParen| highlighting group. This may result in
|
|
the cursor briefly disappearing from the screen as the MatchParen colors take
|
|
over the cursor highlight. To prevent this from happening and have the plugin
|
|
only highlight the matching paren and not the one under the cursor
|
|
(effectively leaving the cursor style unchanged), you can set the
|
|
"matchparen_disable_cursor_hl" variable: >
|
|
|
|
:let matchparen_disable_cursor_hl = 1
|
|
|
|
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 avoid a delay when moving the cursor. The limits
|
|
are:
|
|
- What is visible in the window.
|
|
- 100 lines above or below the cursor to avoid a long delay when there are
|
|
closed folds.
|
|
- 'synmaxcol' times 2 bytes before or after the cursor to avoid a delay
|
|
in a long line with syntax highlighting.
|
|
- A timeout of 300 msec (60 msec in Insert mode). This can be changed with
|
|
the "g:matchparen_timeout" and "g:matchparen_insert_timeout" variables and
|
|
their buffer-local equivalents "b:matchparen_timeout" and
|
|
"b:matchparen_insert_timeout".
|
|
|
|
If you would like the |%| command to work better, the |matchit| plugin can be
|
|
used. This plugin also helps to skip matches in comments. This is unrelated
|
|
to the matchparen highlighting, they use a different mechanism.
