How to go to end/get out of the parenthesis of a line in vim?

Question

I read the solution answered in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11037825/vim-get-out-of-parenthesis-brackets-etc. That is nothing but command A that takes away you in the end of line.

But, my requirement is something different. Suppose I have a file containing -
x = (3+5)/(2+1);
When cursor is on + I want to move the cursor on / or first ), but not on ;(You can consider 'after the character' instead of 'on the character' ).

Answer 1

I'm not 100% clear if this is what you're asking, but I think you might be looking for:

])

This jumps to the nearest enclosing ). So if your cursor was on the / in the below:

(2 / (3 + 5) * 9) 
   ^

It would skip past the first ) and jump to here:

(2 / (3 + 5) * 9)
                ^

Alternatively, for your more simple case, %% would also work. The first % jumps to the opening (, and the second jumps to its counterpart, the closing ).

See:

• :help ])
• :help %

Answer 2

My plugin match-up provides the mappings ]% and [% which is like a delimiter-agnostic version of ])/]} to go to either element of a surrounding matching pair. Since it uses the symbols listed in matchpairs, it works for ()/{}/[] by default and will work for < and > if matchpairs contains <:>.

Filetypes can also specify more advanced matching pairs (e.g., if/endif in vimscript), similar to the plugin matchit which is distributed with vim (except matchit seems to be unmaintained and these mappings don't work).
