❯ Improved the highlighting for matching parens. (#75 and #71 in PR #78, @vincentzhezhang @cryptomaniac512 @dylnmc, 8eb7b2a6)
The background color intensity under the cursor was too bright and the cursor no more visible causing the user to be distracted to focus on the matching bracket instead of the bracket at the cursor position.
To optimally improve the highlighting nord3 will now be used as background color for the matching element which doesn't conflict with the cursorline color and also stands out in order to see the matching element.
