At the moment I'm writing, I removed the matchit plugin and the % works well, making the cursor jump from a (, [, or { to the corresponding closing character and vice versa.

Now I installed matchit again, adding Plugin 'vim-scripts/matchit.zip' to my .vimrc and then running Vundle's :PluginInstall. Having done so, I can now jump back and forth from subroutine to end subroutine in my .f90 files and so on (and I can do it with .cpp and so on).

But I cannot make this jumps with parenthesis and brackets and other "standard" pairs.

I have no idea what could be the reason of such strange behavior in Vim. I hope the following observations can be useful for you to help me.

  • Wherever I press % (to jump between a standard or non standard pair, or on an empty line with no reason), then I cannot use it anymore, as well as the cursor remains in the buffer related to a .f90 file.
  • If I move to another buffer/window related to a NON .f90 file (by :n<CR>, :N<CR>, <C-W><C-W> and so on, or simply :help<CR>) and press % at least once (to jump between ... as before), then I can go back to a .f90 buffer/window and use % with standard pairs once (just once!) again.
  • Jumping between new pairs (IF, DO, and so on) is not affected.

Maybe I should underline that I got the feeling that this happens only with Fortran files (.f90 and .f95), since it doesn't happen with help pages (.txt) nor with .cpp files.

    I don't know the vim-script/matchit.zip plugin you're talking about but in my .vimrc I have runtime macros/matchit.vim which enables the defaut matchit plugin and % works on brackets as well as on subroutine maybe you should try that.

    On GitHub I read "Since vim 6.0, matchit.vim has been included in the standard vim distribution, under the macros/ directory; the version here may be more recent.". Anyway I followed your advice. Still I have exactly the same behavior.

    :h matchit.txt and especially :h matchit-debug. The Github mirror is older then the distributed version with Vim.

    Do I understand correctly, matching with matchit works only once and then not anymore? I think this was fixed with a recent runtime file update
