Hi there! Does any one knows if it is possible and how to match braces?
In vi it should correspond to the '%' character.

Thanks,

For a Java editor, the "Highlight matching bracket" Preference in the
Appearance tab under Java/Editor controls this. (turn that setting on and
move the cursor to a paren or bracket to see it work).

Unfortunately, it won't show the matching brace if it's offscreen.

Also, double-click just to the right of the left brace or to the left of
the right brace and the entire section between the selected brace and
the matching brace will be hightlighted.

This works for braces, parenthesis, and brackets.

Perfect! Thanks.
Do you know if this shortcut is configurable? Where can I find it?

Thanks a lot!
