Vim's behavior with parentheses is for me as you've described what you wish it to be. I had attributed that to the setting of 'showmatch', that now seems not to be so. > The option which I'm looking for colors the opening and closing > characters when the cursor is over either one. Is there some other > setting which showmatch refers to which makes this happen? Since it is not 'showmatch' that enables the described behavior, I next thought that it must be syntax highlighting. Again, it is not so. After some digging, I've found that it is the matchparen plugin automatically loaded unless 'compatible' is set. You could try "set nocompatible". --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
