A Vim/Neovim plugin that extends the % motion to language-specific matching words, highlighting and navigating matched pairs like if/endif. It is a modern drop-in replacement for matchit.vim and matchparen, with tree-sitter support for Neovim.
Use cases
- jump between matching if/else/endif in vim
- highlight matching parentheses and keywords in neovim
- replace matchit with a better % plugin
- navigate matching html tags in vim
- select text between matching words with text objects
- tree-sitter based matching in neovim
When to choose
- you use Vim or Neovim and want better % navigation and match highlighting
- you want a maintained, bug-fixed replacement for matchit.vim and matchparen
- you want tree-sitter-aware matching in Neovim
When to avoid
- you use an IDE or non-modal editor rather than Vim/Neovim
- you only need simple bracket matching already provided by matchparen
