How do you change the vim color scheme for highlighted braces? I'm looking to actually edit the .vim theme file to make the change permanent.

Regards, Craig

Does vim have syntax highlighting?

VIM is an alternative and advanced version of VI editor that enables Syntax highlighting feature in VI. Syntax highlighting means it can show some parts of text in another fonts and colors. VIM doesn't show whole file but have some limitations in highlighting particular keywords or text matching a pattern in a file.

The automatic highlight colour for matching brackets is called MatchParen. You can change the colour in your .vimrc by doing eg:

highlight MatchParen cterm=bold ctermfg=cyan

After reading the FAQ, I can answer my own question. :)

24.9. Is there a built-in function to syntax-highlight the corresponding matching bracket?

No. Vim doesn't support syntax-highlighting matching brackets. You can try using the plugin developed by Charles Campbell:

http://vim.sourceforge.net/tips/tip.php?tip_id=177

You can jump to a matching bracket using the '%' key. You can set the 'showmatch' option to temporarily jump to a matching bracket when in insert mode.
