The sel4draft has been changed, nth-match, nth-last-match was removed and feature merged to nth-child with this syntax: nth-child(An+B of sel) where sel is a list of selectors

http://dev.w3.org/csswg/selectors4/#the-nth-child-pseudo

"By passing a selector argument, we can select the Nth element that matches that selector. For example, the following selector matches the first three “important” list items, denoted by the .important class:

li:nth-child(-n+3 of .important)

Note that this is different from moving the selector outside of the function, like:

li.important:nth-child(-n+3)

This selector instead just selects the first three list items if they also have the .important class."
Summary: Support for nth-match, nth-last-match pseudo classes → Support for nth-child(An+B of sel) , nth-last-child(An+B of sel) pseudo classes

Any timeframe at when this might be implemented?

This got a big mention on css-tricks: https://css-tricks.com/

That's quite a missed feature. nth-child() and nth-of-type() run the 50% of the way but this syntax improvement can be used as the next level of nth selectors!

Bramus Van Damme mentioned the "x of y" part at CSS Day 2022. Would be great to see that supported in more browsers!

Depends on: 1808156

A lot of the work already done for :is() and :where() can be reused, so
the most significant change is a hashmap of caches for each of
:nth-child(An+B of S) and :nth-last-child(An+B of S).

Drive-by simplification now that the function exists.

Moving dev-doc-needed to bug 1808229, since, although support for support for :nth-child(An+B of selector list) and :nth-last-child(An+B of selector list) is shipping, bug 854148 still depends on :nth-child(An+B of :has()) and :nth-last-child(An+B of :has(...)) invalidation (bug 1818155).

Keywords: dev-doc-needed

Shipping since Firefox 113 (landed in bug 1808229 comment 3, intent sent in https://groups.google.com/a/mozilla.org/g/dev-platform/c/eQeeFKYJ038/m/EfFYIA87AAAJ)! Now that :nth-child(An+B of :has()) invalidation is complete (in bug 1792501, thanks David!), let's close the [meta].
