poppy.vim

vim port of highlightparentheses.el which gives rainbow parens propagating from the cursor

Enabled with autocmds ( :h autocommand )

example:

au! cursormoved * call PoppyInit()

or:

au! cursormoved *.lisp call PoppyInit()

or even make a mapping:

augroup Poppy
  au!
augroup END
nnoremap <silent> <leader>hp :call clearmatches() \| let g:poppy = -get(g:,'poppy',-1) \|
      \ exe 'au! Poppy CursorMoved *' . (g:poppy > 0 ? ' call PoppyInit()' : '') <cr>

modify coloring by changing g:poppyhigh, which is a list of highlight group names.

If you want only 1 paren level highlighted, let g:poppyhigh to a list with 1 group name.

If you want the highlighting to include matches which are under the cursor, like the matchparen plugin included with vim, let g:poppy_point_enable = 1 .
