Parenthesis highlighting

These settings concern the integration between Evil and show-paren-mode. They take no effect if this mode is not enabled.

Emacs Lisp Autovariable: evil-show-paren-range

The minimal distance between point and a parenthesis which causes the parenthesis to be highlighted.

Default: 0

Emacs Lisp Autovariable: evil-highlight-closing-paren-at-point-states

The states in which the closing parenthesis at point should be highlighted. All states listed here highlight the closing parenthesis at point (which is Vim’s default behavior). All others highlight the parenthesis before point (which is Emacs default behavior). If this list contains the symbol not then its meaning is inverted, i.e. all states listed here highlight the closing parenthesis before point.

Default: (not emacs insert replace)
