Elvis
is a
vi clone. This
patch
adds the angle brackets (<,>)
to the matching mix. That is is if you do a `%' on a "(){}[]"
in cursor mode then the cursor jumps to the matching bracket.
Adding angle brackets is useful for ensuring matching angle brackets
in C++ templates and for HTML tags. However, this can be annoying too,
since angle brackets are also used for relational & shift operations.
Therefore, it's a good idea to turn off automatic matching by placing
:set noshowmatch
in your
$HOME/.exrc file.
BTW this patch is freely available and distributable.
