Matching brackets are not found in VIM mode

[AblingerOscar]

I’ve tried this with all core plugins off and only the the vim keybinding activated and everything else as is the default.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create or move into a file
2. Write text in it that has brackets (e.g. hello(world))
3. Try to use any function of vim that requires the matching bracket. For example pressing % in normal mode while on a bracket, or being in-between the brackets and pressing vi( in normal mode.

Expected result

The cursor moves to the matching brackets/text in between them is highlighted.

Actual result

Nothing happens and the console logs the following errors:

Additional information

Boostnote used to have the same problem & they posted the solution (for them) in the issue

There’s a plugin that activates it. (not sure about %, but things like di( and ya[ work with it)

[AblingerOscar]

Oh nice, I found it: GitHub - mrjackphil/obsidian-add-codemirror-matchbrackets: This plugins adds matchbrackets.js which allows to use `di[` or `ya(` commands in Vim mode

I still think that this is a bug that should be fixed in the core

[WhiteNoise]

will be included in 0.13.8.
