I need matching parenthesis highlight in Left, I'm going blind.

@neauoire half the time i spend in acme is counting parentheses and curly braces hahaha

@rz you could add highlight you know? Have you started modding acme yet?

DELETED

@neauoire i've modded it to work with /dev/theme but nothing else - i'll definitely do that next because it's a pretty big ux thing for me haha

@rz If you're interested, this is how I did it: git.sr.ht/~rabbits/left/commit

Scan from the open paren toward the cursor, and stop when it closes with a depth of zero.

@neauoire clean! i like that you thought of the scroll-x thing.

@neauoire you could blink pairs at the same frequency

@neauoire I've always wanted an editor that changes the size of nested parenthesis, like you'd see in written math formulas for example.

@neauoire it's interesting that you started implementing that after you worked a bit with LISP

@alex27 I'm just not used to lisp without syntax highlight, some languages I can stomach, but this one is esp bad.

@neauoire Imagine a font with binary notches on brackets and parentheses, so you can match them visually when they're printed in black and white

@rezmason before colorizing them I was underlining them, but it didn't look as good
