bracket-matcher-plus

Highlight and jump between matching brackets and XML/HTML tags with autocomplete and selection support.

Fork of bracket-matcher.

Features

• Bracket highlighting: Highlights the matching bracket pair adjacent to the cursor.
• Tag highlighting: Highlights matching XML/HTML tag name pairs.
• Bracket autocomplete: Auto-inserts the closing bracket when an opening bracket is typed.
• Pair skip: Skips over an existing closing bracket instead of inserting a duplicate.
• Pair backspace: Deletes both brackets of a pair on backspace.
• Selection wrapping: Wraps selected text in brackets when an opening bracket is typed.
• Extra newline: Inserts an extra indented line between a bracket pair on Enter.
• Syntax tree support: Uses tree-sitter for accurate matching when available.
• Universal editor support: Works in all registered text editors, not just workspace panes.

Scoped settings

Scope-specific overrides can be added to your config.cson and take precedence over both package defaults and global settings. This is useful for per-language bracket rules.

".source.rust":
  "bracket-matcher-plus":
    autocompleteCharacters: [
      "()"
      "[]"
      "{}"
      "<>"
      "\"\""
      "``"
    ]

Customization

The bracket highlight style can be adjusted in the styles.less file:

• e.g. change highlight color:

.bracket-matcher-plus .region {
  border-bottom-color: red !important;
}
