✨ Features

• 🪁 Fully compatible with anything that expects matchparen.vim to be there.

• 👍 Ease of use.

📦 Installation

NOTE: Keep in mind that calling setup disables the built-in matchparen.vim plugin.

• lazy.nvim

  {
    "utilyre/sentiment.nvim",
    version = "*",
    event = "VeryLazy", -- keep for lazy loading
    opts = {
      -- config
    },
    init = function()
      -- `matchparen.vim` needs to be disabled manually in case of lazy loading
      vim.g.loaded_matchparen = 1
    end,
  }
  

• packer.nvim

  use({
    "utilyre/sentiment.nvim",
    tag = "*",
    config = function()
      require("sentiment").setup({
        -- config
      })
    end,
  })
  

🎮 Usage

• require("sentiment").disable(), :NoMatchParen

  Disable the plugin.

🎨 Highlight

This plugin re-uses the widely supported MatchParen highlight group of the former matchparen.vim plugin.

See :help nvim_set_hl() for how you can change it.
