One neat thing about vim is configurability. I think it's widely known (and done) to add < and > to matchpairs for %, but you can add Unicode pairs in the list to, for smart quotes and quote styles not used in English (at ast not often).
I decided to try the extreme and described my method here: https://qaz.wtf/qz/blosxom/2022/06/02/matchpairs But some of those, I'm never expecting to actually encounter (left and right speech bubbles, as enclosing characters? not likely). Here's what I've edited the list down to for my own use: :set matchpairs=<:>,(:),[:],{:},«:»,𝄆:𝄇,👉:👈,🕻:🕽,🖙:🖘,🖛:🖚,🖝:🖜,🗦:🗧,🙬:🙮,🤜:🤛,‘:’,“:”,‹:›,⁅:⁆,⁌:⁍,⁽:⁾,₍:₎,⊣:⊢,⋉:⋊,⌈:⌉,⌊:⌋,〈:〉,⎛:⎞,⎜:⎟,⎝:⎠,⎡:⎤,⎢:⎥,⎣:⎦,⎧:⎫,⎨:⎬,⎩:⎭,⏪:⏩,⏮:⏭,⏴:⏵,◀:▶,◁:▷,◂:▸,◃:▹,◄:►,◅:▻,☛:☚,☞:☜,⚟:⚞,❨:❩,❪:❫,❬:❭,❮:❯,❰:❱,❲:❳,❴:❵,⟅:⟆,⟕:⟖,⟞:⟝,⟢:⟣,⟤:⟥,⟦:⟧,⟨:⟩,⟪:⟫,⟬:⟭,⟮:⟯,⥼:⥽,⦃:⦄,⦅:⦆,⦇:⦈,⦉:⦊,⦋:⦌,⦍:⦐,⦏:⦎,⦑:⦒,⦗:⦘,⧘:⧙,⧚:⧛,⧼:⧽,⫍:⫎,⯇:⯈,⸂:⸃,⸄:⸅,⸉:⸊,⸌:⸍,⸜:⸝,⸠:⸡,⸦:⸧,⸨:⸩,⸶:⸷,⹑:⹐,⹕:⹖,⹗:⹘,〈:〉,《:》,「:」,『:』,【:】,〔:〕,〖:〗,〘:〙,〚:〛,꧁:꧂,﴾:﴿,︵:︶,︷:︸,︹:︺,︻:︼,︽:︾,︿:﹀,﹁:﹂,﹃:﹄,﹇:﹈,﹙:﹚,﹛:﹜,﹝:﹞,（:）,［:］,｛:｝,｟:｠,｢:｣ This includes multiline bracket symbols; wide ("fullwidth") versions of characters used in CJK contexts; vertical punctuation, also for CJK compatibility; and some hands (for which I've switched left and right versions). It's also a line too long for unencoded use in SMTP or NNTP, so good thing MIME exits. Elijah -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
