Kakoune rainbow

Personal fork of JJK96's kakoune-rainbow, which gains a substantial speed boost at the cost of a more involved and slightly sketchy hook setup.

Highlights pairs of parentheses in the same color, recursive pairs are highlighted in a different color.

Install

Add this plugin to your autoload folder.

Or use plug

plug 'aparkerdavid/kakoune-rainbow'

Usage

execute :rainbow to highlight the current buffer once.

execute :rainbow-enable to highlight the current buffer continuously (note that this may be a bit laggy).

execute :rainbow-disable to remove the highlighter

Configuration

The rainbow_highlight_background option sets whether the background of the part between braces should be highlighted.

Customization

You can override the rainbow_faces option to set your own faces.

Example:

set-option global rainbow_faces "rgb:ff0000" "rgb:00ff00" "rgb:0000ff"

You can also override the rainbow_opening option to set the opening parentheses regex. Example:

set-option global rainbow_opening "[\[{(<]"
