hl_match_area.nvim

Neovim plugin that allows highlighting the whole area between matching delimiters (specified by `vim.opt.matchpairs`)


![demo](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/83038443/197796655-b1ff0a7a-ed5b-4922-96d4-3acc7b87e1b5.gif)

## Installation

- With [packer.nvim](https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim)

```lua

use { 'rareitems/hl_match_area.nvim' }

```

## Usage

Simply call the following function somewhere in your config

```lua

  require("hl_match_area").setup()

```

If you don't provide any arguments to the setup function, default values will be used, which are as follows (obviously you can also change them)

```lua

{

    highlight_in_insert_mode = true, -- should highlighting also be done in insert mode

    delay = 100, -- delay before the highglight

}

```

Changing the highglight can be done through Neovim API. For example:

```lua

vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, 'MatchArea', {bg = "#FFFFFF"})

```

## Configuration

```lua

{

        delay = 100 --(number) Delay in milliseconds to highlight

        highlight_in_insert_mode = true --(boolean) If true highlight will also be done in insert mode

        matchpairs  = { "(:)", "{:}", "[:]", "<:>" } --(string[]|nil)  If you want to highlight specific characters and not rely on `vim.opt.matchpairs`. This should follow the same structure as `vim.opt.matchpairs:get` (example: `{"(:)", "{:}"}`) }

}

```
