Hi,

I'm using MacVim 8.2.1719, I believe I have enabled the matchit plugin, and it shows up when using :scriptnames

 30: /Applications/MacVim.app/Contents/Resources/vim/runtime/pack/dist/opt/matchit/autoload/matchit.vim

And echo loaded_matchit returns 1

However, when I try to view b:match_words, I get an error:

E121: Undefined variable: b:match_words

What should I be looking for?

chrisbra commented 3 years ago

the b: means, this is buffer specific. Usually filetype plugins set that variable with filetype specific regular expression matches. So it might be not set for an empty buffer or filetypes, that do not come with support for matching enabled.

The more important question is, what do you actually want to achieve?

bluesmoon commented 3 years ago

I installed julia-vim from https://github.com/JuliaEditorSupport/julia-vim

It said I need matchit to get block commands to work, and I'm trying to figure out why it doesn't work. Thought I'd debug a bit, but might make sense to ask on the julia-vim GitHub

what did you do to see this error?
