rainbow_parentheses.vim VS rainbow

I have the plug-in https://github.com/junegunn/rainbow_parentheses.vim. When I open NERDTree or :help it formats them so I wanted to disable it for that filetypes. It's not working, so can anynone help me?

Try this one rainbow_parentheses. It is working fine on my terminal vim.

Plugins that add this feature are generally called rainbow something. There are many, the one I use and can recommend is rainbow_parentheses.vim

How about https://github.com/junegunn/rainbow_parentheses.vim ? :)

Does anyone know what would be today's rainbow parentheses plugin of choice? I still have junegunn/rainbow_parentheses.vim in my config, which still works for my occasional editing uses, but also hasn't seen any updates in almost 6 years (though of course one could also consider it simply "finished"). I found luochen1990/rainbow, which has seen more recent updates; does anyone have experience with that?

I use Rainbow Parenthesis, A heavily-rewritten fork of kien/rainbow_parentheses.vim.

Rainbow will do your first requirement: https://github.com/luochen1990/rainbow

Okay it's actually a bit (alot) different and easier and I described it here: https://github.com/luochen1990/rainbow/issues/163

The parentheses color are not caused by this script, but by my usage of rainbow parentheses (some variant of https://github.com/luochen1990/rainbow) which I have configured for my usual light background vim theme.

I did not spend time to set up a more empty vim configuration to take the screenshots.

The script does not introduce any new colors, it just changes what is highlighted as cType.

It does change the color of parentheses for "if" statements to be the same color as the keyword. I am undecided if I should keep that or not. Opinions from people not using rainbow or similar plugins are welcome.

For comparison here are operands configured. Is this included?

Yup, I use this plugin vim-python/python-syntax and rainbow parentheses 😃
