Match paren

Match paren

[shawn wilson]

Has anyone made a script or omz plugin that visually highlights
matching parens, brackets, and curleys? I know this is being done
somehow as % works to move between them. However, I'd like to see the
match when I hover over it.

The zsh-syntax-highlighting project will do that along with other types 
of syntax highlighting.

The following code highlights the matching symbols when you type them.
Unless I'm mistaken, it was originally written by Oliver Kiddle.

function highlight-paren()
{
    local i nested=1

    typeset -A match

    match=(
        \) \(
        \] \[
        \} \{
        \" \"
        \' \'
        \` \`
     )

    zle self-insert

    for ((i=$((CURSOR - 1)); i; --i)) {
        [[ $BUFFER[$i] = $match[$KEYS] ]] && (( ! --nested )) && break
        [[ $BUFFER[$i] == $KEYS ]] && (( ++nested ))
    }

    region_highlight=("$((i-1)) $i standout")
    zle -R
    read -kt 1 && zle -U "$REPLY"
    region_highlight=()
}
zle -N highlight-paren
