Hi,
the percent sign makes vi jump to the corresponding closing
parenthesis, should I point to the opening one.
How can I program a similar functionality for other classes of
syntactical elements? In Standard ML, there is a let - in - end
construct that can span several pages so it would be useful to jump
from one let to the corresponding end. Of course a let-in-end triple
can be found in another.
Is there a way to program this in vi?

1. Enable the matchit plugin, see :help matchit-install
1.1 Create the directory $VIM/vimfiles/plugin if it doesn't exist,
and place in it a one-line file containing just
runtime macros/matchit.vim
You can name it matchit.vim
1.2 On Unix/Linux, you can enable the matchit help via a softlink:
:shell
mkdir -pv $VIM/vimfiles/doc
cd $VIM/vimfiles/doc
ln -sv ../../vim73/macros/matchit.txt
exit
:helptags $VIM/vimfiles/doc
On Windows, you may have to copy the matchit.txt file from
$VIMRUNTIME/macros to $VIM/vimfiles/doc/. The :helptags command (as
above) is still necessary so that the help entries in the file will be
made part of Vim's help system.
2. If the ftplugin for StandardML doesn't already set the b:match_words
variable, you can set it in an after-plugin, named (for instance)
$VIM/vimfiles/after/ftplugin/standardml.vim (if "standardml" is the
'filetype' value for those files). For details, see :help
matchit-newlang (after installing the matchit help as above).
3. In order not to lose the "standard" function of the % key for files
which have no specific syntax pairings, I recommend adding the following
in your vimrc:
augroup vimrclocal
au FileType c,cpp,css,javascript
\ let b:match_words = &matchpairs
augroup END
This will also avoid %-jumping from ( or ) in a comment to ) or ( in the
code or vice-versa (likewise for []{}).
Best regards,
Tony.
