Tags: patch Sometimes show-paren will highlight the parens that are inside a comment/string which looks annoying and somewhat confusing. e.g. show-paren will highlight this paren: ;; :^)| <- cursor ^ paren highlighted as mismatch or: v ( ;; )| <- cursor ^ both parens highlighted I've made an option for disable/control this behavior, by default its disabled but I wonder if this should be activated instead.
