Hi Darren,

In the latest ViEmu releases we fixed another issues we thought were more relevant.

We still plans to fix this, but the bridge ViEmu/Codekana is a complicated task that requires an additional development effort and we still working on it.

Thanks.

This is still an issue, glad to see a workaround posted here, but as I work in a team and sadly am the only VI user, I can't use this workaround. Are there still plans to fix this (with the Codekana bridge)? As a side note, VIM has the correct behavior.

Darren,

Indeed, ViEmu's brace matcher is a very simplistic text-scanning matcher. Since Codekana has a full-blown parser which is quite smart about these things, it remains on my future plans to add a ViEmu <-> Codekana bridge that will allow ViEmu to use the smarts in CK to make it better understand the code (for this and other cases).

Thanks for posting the work-around too!

I found a workaround:

public static bool IsRTF(string rtf)
{
        return rtf.StartsWith(@"{\rtf"); // }
}

Cheers,

Hi,

I noticed a curious issue with brace matching (% command)

Note the following C# function:

public static bool IsRTF(string rtf)
{
        return rtf.StartsWith(@"{\rtf");
}

Go to the bottom brace and press %, it will jump to the { within the string instead of the correct match.

Cheers,

Darren
