Hi all,

since a while I didn't get matches if/fi anymore. I am running
packadd! matchit. Fror instance brackets are matching...

How can I debug it?

Thanks in advance

Is this in a shell script? Please give more information.

hl_matchit is what I was looking for.

Hi, I've been using Vi and Vim since the eighties. My current Vim
version is 8.2.4579, provided by Fedora Linux.

I have this line in a file:
<a href="[^"]+_trk([^"]+)">

When the cursor is on the first or second [, then the matching ] lights up.
When the cursor is on the first [ and I type %, the cursor jumps to the
second ].
When the cursor is on the (, the ) lights up.
When the cursor is on the ( and I type %, nothing happens.
When the cursor is on the underscore _ and I type %, nothing happens.

As a result, when the cursor is on the first [ and I type d%, the result is:
<a href="+)">

This bit me when I was editing the following line with the cursor on the
underscore _ and I typed d%, deleting 93 lines unexpectedly:

do { $credit[$n] = $2; $explicit[$n] = ""; $track[$n++] = $1; next } if
/<a class="a-size-base-plus a-link-normal a-color-base TitleLink
a-text-bold" href="[^"]+_trk([^"]+)">([^<]+)<\/a> <br\/> <span
class="a-size-base a-color-tertiary"> by <\/span> <span
class="a-size-base a-color-base">([^<]+)<\/span>/;

So, that's why I wrote "'%' matches but it doesn't when executed", as it
doesn't seem logical to me when a matching ) lights up and 'suddenly' it
doesn't match when I type %.

I suppose you know about the M and % compatibility options?

:help cpo-M
:help cpo-%

It sounds like the matchparen plugin is showing you a "match" without
properly taking the cpoptions setting into account or is being confused
by the syntax highlighting guess of content type. Personally I find
matchparen and showmatch highly distracting and don't use them. Maybe
you'd enjoy that, too.

For the plugin:

:help pi_paren.txt

I did read that before posting, yes.

Actually, I've never found it too distracting, so never thought of
turning it off.

Still, Vim shows one thing and does the other. That is not logical.
Is that because the old Vi (behaviour) does the wrong thing?
Because if I do in Vim:
se cpoptions=aABceFs (this is my default, apparently)
se cpoptions+=%
... then it works as expected, i.e. logically. WYSIWYG. :-)
And when I do
vim -u NONE "+se cpo"
I get:
cpoptions=aAbBcCdDeEfFgHiIjJkKlLmMnoOpPqrRsStuvwWxXyZ$!%*-+<>;
