When clicking directly outside a closed bracket, like so "}", it is useful to be able to see the entire code highlighted which is inside the control flow designated by the bracket. As a default, eclipse will surround the corresponding opening bracket, in a black bordered box. How do i get eclipse editor to highlight the entire code inside the opening and closing bracket upon a mouse click directly to the right of a "}" character in the code?

thanks,
