Very odd - I thought from what had been written that on Linux everything
needed was installed with vim so I just put these lines in my .vimrc file:
filetype plugin on
runtime plugin/matchit.vim
But when I checked, the matchit plugin was not there so I downloaded and
installed it but still no improvement so I read the doc (!) and changed
the last line in .vimrc to:
:source ~phil/.vim/plugin/matchit.vim
but still no joy. What is really odd is that "g%" ie the reverse
movement works fine!
I have:
vim v7.2.148-1
matchit.vim v1.13.2, for Vim 6.3+
Thanks,
Phil.
