`%` goes backwards when out of pair

[michamos]

% behaves differently with vimtex from standard Vim.

To reproduce, start Vim with the provided minivimrc as vimrc (using the -u option), and in an empty Vim buffer (that does not have ft=tex), add the line

(aaa) bbb (ccc)

Place the cursor on the first b and execute the command d%. Result: (aaa).

Do the same thing in a buffer with ft=tex (for example, add that line to the test/template/minmal.tex file). Result: bb (ccc), meaning that the % motion goes backwards when using Vimtex instead of forwards. This is a general feature, and occurs for many paired delimiters ({...}, $...$, etc.) and makes the % motion completely useless when being outside a pair.

Hmm, no, this does not reproduce with me. That is, I can confirm that the motion is unexpected outside of $...$ pairs, but not for the other ones.

Should be fixed in the recent update.

:+1: it works great now!

Great :)
