It is a fork from the brilliant rainbow-delimiters, base it, I add the feature of emphasising delimiters of current cursor mode. Since I change too much of it, So I make a new repo to develop it.

Generally, it contains two Emacs modes:

• rainbow-delimiters-mode (as usual) is used to highlight delimiters
• and rainbow-delimiters-emphasise-current-cursor-delimiters-mode is used to highlight the delimilters of current cursor, which is kinda like vscode.

Installation

Currently, this tool is in alpha state, maybe it's not perfect, so I don't upload it to Melpa or elpa at present, but when it is, I will.

You can install it manually, steps:

• download rainbow-delimiters.el
• put it into your load directory
• (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/xx/xx")

You can also use package-install-from-buffer to install it.

Usage

To toggle the rainbow-delimiters-mode in the current buffer:

M-x rainbow-delimiters-mode

To toggle the rainbow-delimiters-emphasise-current-cursor-delimiters-mode in the current buffer:

M-x rainbow-delimiters-emphasise-current-cursor-delimiters-mode

To start the mode automatically in most programming modes (Emacs 24 and above):

(add-hook 'prog-mode-hook #'rainbow-delimiters-mode)
(add-hook 'prog-mode-hook #'rainbow-delimiters-emphasise-current-cursor-delimiters-mode)

Configuration

rainbow-delimiters-mode is supported by a lot of color themes such as Zenburn and Soloarized, but not rainbow-delimiters-emphasise-current-cursor-delimiters-mode.

You can customize it use:

M-x customize-group <RET> rainbow-delimiters

Or use custom-set-faces (actually same as above). Below is my configuration for doom-material.

 '(rainbow-delimiters-base-error-face ((t (:inherit rainbow-delimiters-base-face :foreground "#ff5370"))))
