A Vim plugin that colorizes nested parentheses, brackets, and braces by nesting depth to make deeply nested code easier to read. It supports unlimited levels, custom parenthesis definitions, per-filetype configuration, and optional operator highlighting.
Use cases
- colorize nested parentheses in lisp code
- make deeply nested brackets readable in vim
- highlight matching brackets by depth level
- configure custom bracket highlighting per filetype
- improve readability of s-expressions and in vim
When to choose
- you edit lisp, scheme, or other parenthesis-heavy languages in vim
- you want unlimited nesting levels with fast, configurable highlighting
- you need per-filetype or custom delimiter highlighting rules
When to avoid
- you use neovim with treesitter-based rainbow highlighting already
- you don't use vim or a vim-compatible editor
- you only need simple matchparen-style bracket matching
