What is matchit plugin in vim? Matchit plugin in VIM allows us to jump between matching tags. For example: <div> <span>inner tag</span> <ol> <li>Ex-1</li> <li>Ex-2</li> </ol> </div> Then we can jump between div tags using %. We can put cursor in div then pressing % will take us(make a jump) to it’s matching pair </div>. This works out of the box for html, xml type of files. For files like typescriptreact (tsx), jsx we have to configure it manually.
