7 Highlighting matching parens *matchparen*
|
|
8
|
|
9 The functionality mentioned here is a |standard-plugin|.
|
|
10 This plugin is only available if 'compatible' is not set.
|
|
11
|
|
12 You can avoid loading this plugin by setting the "loaded_matchparen" variable: >
|
|
13 :let loaded_matchparen = 1
|
|
14
|
|
15 The plugin installs CursorMoved autocommands to redefine the match
|
|
16 highlighting.
|
|
17
|
|
18 To disable the plugin after it was loaded use this command: >
|
|
19
|
|
20 :NoMatchParen
|
|
21
|
|
22 And to enable it again: >
|
|
23
|
|
24 :DoMatchParen
|
|
25
|
699
|
26 The highlighting used is MatchParen. You can specify different colors with
|
694
|
27 the ":highlight" command. Example: >
|
|
28
|
699
|
29 :hi MatchParen ctermbg=blue guibg=lightblue
|
694
|
30
|
|
31 The characters to be matched come from the 'matchpairs' option. You can
|
|
32 change the value to highlight different matches. Note that not everything is
|
|
33 possible. For example, you can't highlight single or double quotes, because
|
|
34 the start and end are equal.
|
|
35
|
|
36 The syntax highlighting attributes are used. When the cursor currently is not
|
|
37 in a string or comment syntax item, then matches inside string and comment
|
|
38 syntax items are ignored. Any syntax items with "string" or "comment"
|
|
39 somewhere in their name are considered string or comment items.
|
|

|
41 The search is limited to avoid a delay when moving the cursor. The limits
|
|
42 are:
|
|
43 - What is visible in the window.
|
|
44 - 100 lines above or below the cursor to avoid a long delay when there are
|
|
45 closed folds.
|
1121
|
46 - 'synmaxcol' times 2 bytes before or after the cursor to avoid a delay
|
819
|
47 in a long line with syntax highlighting.
