BracketHighlighter
Bracket Highlighter matches a variety of brackets such as: []
, ()
, {}
, ""
, ''
, <tag></tag>
, and even custom
brackets.
This was originally forked from pyparadigm’s SublimeBrackets and SublimeTagmatcher (both are no longer available). I
forked this to fix some issues I had and to add some features I had wanted. I also wanted to improve the efficiency of
the matching.
Moving forward, I have thrown away all of the code and have completely rewritten the entire code base to allow for a
more flexibility, faster, and more feature rich experience.

Feature List
- Customizable to highlight almost any bracket.
- Customizable bracket highlight style.
- High visibility bracket highlight mode.
- Selectively disable or enable specific matching of tags, brackets, or quotes.
- Selectively use an allowlist or blocklist for matching specific tags, brackets, or quotes based on language.
- When bound to a shortcut, allow option to show line count and char count between match in the status bar.
- Highlight basic brackets within strings.
- Works with multi-select.
- Configurable custom gutter icons.
- Toggle bracket escape mode for string brackets (regex|string).
- Bracket plugins that can jump between bracket ends, select content, remove brackets and/or content, wrap selections
with brackets, swap brackets, swap quotes (handling quote escaping between the main quotes), fold/unfold content
between brackets, toggle through tag attribute selection, select both the opening and closing tag name to change both
simultaneously, etc.
