I am looking to color the parentheses in Python and other languages and the the tags in HTML. But the thing is, I want the parentheses at different levels to be colored differently.

Basically, I am looking for a Visual Studio Code-like feature that would make the code more readable.

Does such a feature exist in Vim? If not, how can I add it?

I use the non-GUI (terminal) Vim.

  • Thanks for the suggestion. I did stumble across this plugin a while ago, however, after browsing the internet for a while, I could only find references to it that were a few years old. Thus, I was bit hesitant in downloading it. Is it still well known/widely used? Have you used it? and if so, then how was your experince?

  • It has 1.8k stars in GitHub which makes it among the popular Vim plugin. I have tested it but never used it personally for a large period of time. In my experience it works flawless :-)
