Hi! I'm new to picolisp and wonder if it's normal for vip to not show blinking paren match. I turned it on in .inputrc, and it works in pil but not in vip.

Hi kickstatue, yes, Vip does not show matching parens this way. The reason is that i was lazy and did not find it necessary ;)
<abu[7]>
I match parens with %
<abu[7]>
and check indentation with "," (comma)
<abu[7]>
But you are right, it would be happful
<kickstatue>
ah :). I see! Well, I'll just see if I can get used to it then! I really like a built-in ide. I'm just used to emacs and CL, so this style is new to me.

helpful
<abu[7]>
OK :)
<kickstatue>
Is it because you generally have rather short lines with few parens nesting that you don't need the blinking parens?
<abu[7]>
It is more because it is quite difficult to implement
<abu[7]>
The blinking would need an additional machinery (timing)
<abu[7]>
In der REPL it works, because readline() takes care of it

I see! I'm able to get paren matching if I run vip in emacs eshell, but eshell doesn't have suspend, so I think I will just try to get used to vip as it is instead. It seems like a great fit for me in every other respect (once I get used to vi editing that is). Thank you for explaining!
