For the sake of lurkers: matchit.vim is included in the standard
distribution under $VIMRUNTIME/macros/ . It gives improved matching
with the % key.
After you :source matchit.vim, the % key is mapped to call a
function, and this part seems to be working properly. That function
then looks for the variable b:match_words to decide what to do. If you
look at the 23'rd line of the function (as the debug output suggests)
you will see
elseif !exists("b:match_words") || b:match_words == ""
silent! normal! %
return s:CleanUp(restore_options, a:mode, startline, startcol)
end
so it seems that b:match_words has not been defined. To confirm, try
:echo b:match_words
and look for an error message.
Usually b:match_words is defined by the ftplugin files. Do you
have a line like
filetype plugin indent on
in your vimrc file? Or use
:scriptnames
and see whether you are loading an ftplugin file for the current buffer.
It is also possible that, since you are using a recent version of
matchit.vim and an old version of vim, that neither the script nor the
ftplugin includes support for your language.
