Re: [Vim-latex-devel] [Feature Requests]: Highlight matched pairs under the cursor

[Ted P. <te...@te...>]

	At least for braces (as opposed to opening and closing environment
tags), you can use DoMatchParen, which comes with the standard plugin
pi_paren. Add:

:DoMatchParen

to your ~/.vimrc (or to an after/ftplugin/tex.vim file in your ~/.vim
directory). Alternatively, execute that in command mode directly. That
should give you brace matching. See:

:help DoMatchParen

for more information. ":help matchpairs" may also be helpful.

	Again, for braces, an alternative is to set:

:set showmatch

to briefly jump from one brace to another while typing.

	I think you know this already, but jumping (via %) works with
environments. You can jump from a \begin to the matching \end with %.
Likewise, you can fold on environments, which has a very similar feel.
Consequently, because jumping and folding already work on environments
and because many environments wander off the edge of a page, I don't
think there has been the demand for highlighting the matching closing
construct. I think it's possible though.
