Hi
Is there any way to get vim to show the line where the matching start
bracket is placed (or the line above if line only contains bracket)
whenever a closing bracket is pressed.
e.g.,
if( foo == bar )
{
bla bla
}
should show "if( foo == bar ) {" when the } is inserted.
Emacs has this feature and I think that it is quite useful when
programming, and would love to have it in Vim.
I am not looking for showmatch, and dont want to jump to the line - i
simply want a preview at the bottom of the script.
If this is not possible directly in Vim, I an planning to write a
script for this - any ideas are welcome.
The patch to $VIMRUNTIME/plugin/matchparen.vim, attached,
shows the line number of the matching paren on the bottom line.
It's basically a demonstration of how easy it's doable with
matchparen.vim.
If you want to show it differently, this gives you a starting place.
Look into matchparen.vim, just search two places with 3match, that's
the place.
