Does vim showmatch work with any B&W terminals?

I’ve always used vim with showmatch, and use mono terminal definitions since I use light color backgrounds and Fedora colors (or maybe it’s Konsole) make most binutils commands useless on a light colored background (I’ve given up trying to hack Fedora colors, sigh.)

For a whlie showmatch has not been working with mono terminal types (xterm-mono, vt100, vt220, etc). I think it used to, but it’s been a while. I have vim-common and vim-enhanced installed (Fedora 41). “v%” and other visual mode highlighting commands work, though.

  • Is there a monochrome terminal type that will work with showmatch?

  • There are a ton of vim plugins in the F41 repo - do any of them address this issue?

  • Is there a 3rd party vim plugin that will work?

  • I guess I’ll start learning about vim plugins to see if it can be done.
