I hope I have the right forum - if not please accept my apologies and direct me to the right one...

...I am developing an extension of TextEditor for a proprietary language. I've got all the syntax colouring working, but now I would like to implement contrl-shift-P to jump between an "IF" and its matching "ENDIF" (and vice-verca).

I have no idea where to start - can anyone point to the relevant classes/documentation and/or examples?

See 'org.eclipse.jface.text.source.DefaultCharacterPairMatcher' and take
a look at
'org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.javaeditor.JavaEditor.gotoMatch ingBracket()'
to see how it's done in the Java Editor.
