Greetings,

I just installed the V7d beta, and there is one (new?) thing that is
about to drive me <expletive> crazy.  When I type, or place the cursor
over a paren, bracket, brace, it turns the matching brace Cyan.  It
also highlights the open item if there is no matching one.

This is immensly (for me) irritating.  How can I turn it off?

I thank you, my sanity thanks you, and my co-workers will also thank
you.

Just add the following line to your vimrc file:

let loaded_matchparen = 1

This prevents the plugin from loading.

If you want to load that plugin and disable it, just do

:NoMatchParen

and

:DoMatchParen

to activate it again.

In your case adding above line to your vimrc file might be fine.

Best wishes,
Georg
