Highlight brackets according to their depth
Rainbow-delimiters is a "rainbow parentheses"-like mode which highlights parentheses, brackets, and braces according to their depth. Each successive level is highlighted in a different color. This makes it easy to spot matching delimiters, orient yourself in the code, and tell which statements are at a given level. Great care has been taken to make this mode fast. You shouldn't see any discernible change in scrolling or editing speed while using it, even in delimiter-rich languages like Clojure, Lisp, and Scheme. Usage: To toggle the mode in the current buffer: M-x rainbow-delimiters-mode To start the mode automatically in `foo-mode', add the following to your init file: (add-hook 'foo-mode-hook #'rainbow-delimiters-mode) To start the mode automatically in most programming modes (Emacs 24 and above): (add-hook 'prog-mode-hook #'rainbow-delimiters-mode) Customization: To customize various options, including the color theme: M-x customize-group rainbow-delimiters You can specify custom colors by customizing following faces: - Faces take the form `rainbow-delimiters-depth-N-face', with N being the depth. Depth begins at 1, the outermost color. Faces exist for depths 1-9. - The unmatched delimiter face: `rainbow-delimiters-unmatched-face'. - The mismatched delimiter face: `rainbow-delimiters-mismatched-face'.
