How to use % to match tag in html with ideaVim

Question

Vim plugins do not work with ideaVim. Is there a way to get match tags like "matchit" in ideaVim.

IdeaVim doesn't support Vim plugins since it doesn't contain a full Vim Script interpreter and its window models is quite different. There is a new initiative however to add emulations of popular Vim plugins to IdeaVim. For example, the vim-surround emulation is being developed in the master branch. Feel free to create a feature request at IdeaVim's bug tracker.

I think the simplest way is vat on tag and then use o to jump

Update: From version 1.8.0 it's possible with set matchit

I inserted `set matchit` into .ideavimrc and sourced it, then tried pressing `%` on a tag. It didn't work. I did not jump to the matching tag element. – Sebastian Nielsen May 28 '23 at 12:19

One possible workaround is to go into visual mode shift+v and then select the next matching tag by pressing * or #.

Vim surround shortcuts will work.

dit: delete within the tag
dat: delete including the tag
cit: change within the tag
cat: change including the tag
yit: copy within the tag
yat: copy including the tag
