pyparens.nvim

Neovim / vim8 plugin to highlight surrounding braces / scope.

As it works using python regexes you can highlight any type of pair that you want.

Column highlighting can be enabled to easily identify the scope over multiple lines.

Installation

Using vim-plug:

Plug 'djdt/pyparens.nvim'

Be sure to :UpdateRemotePlugins if using Neovim, this can be acheived using Plug:

Plug 'djdt/pyparens.nvim', {do: ':UpdateRemotePlugins'}

Options

To set the highlight group use g:pyparens_hl_group:

let g:pyparens_hl_group = 'MatchParen'

The leftmost column of the current block will be highlighted if g:pyparens_hl_col_group is set.

Use g:pyparens_pairs to set the types of pairs highlighted. Each pair is a list of python regexes for opening and closing words.

g:pyparens_ft_pairs can be used to set additional pairs used only for specific filetypes.

As an example:

let g:pyparens_pairs = [[ '\{', '\}' ], [ '\(', '\)' ], [ '\[', '\]' ]]

let g:pyparens_ft_pairs = {
		\ 'cpp': [['(?<!\<)\<(?!\<)', '\>']],
		\ 'vim': [['\bif\b', '\bendif\b', '\bfor\b', '\bendfor\b']]
		\}

Inspired by matchparenalways.vim and MatchTagAlways.
