matching brace/bracket in C++ editor [message #146050]

In the CDT C++ editor how do you move the cursor to the matching
brace/bracket/parenthesis as the one that the cursor is currently on??

In the java editor, this can be accomplished by pressing Ctrl-Shift-P.
But I cannot figure out *anywhere* how to do this in the CDT C++ editor!

Thanks!

You can't :-(
It seems incredible, but I asked the same question last week in this
mailing, and no reply. So I filed this bug report:

I think you need to setup a shortcut key.
(Tested In CDT 3.1M6)

enter into preference->Keys->Modify page

the command is C/C++ Source->Goto Matching Bracket

Assign a key to it!

Enjoy!

In CDT 2.1.1 on Eclipse 3.0.2, this isn't an option - what release of CDT
are you running?

I'm hopeful that this is a new or mistakenly dropped feature, because it's
driving me bonkers. In the meantime, a workaround:
Double-clicking a bracket highlights a block of text and moves the cursor
to the bottom. It's one-way, but it works in a pinch.

Ah, apologies. I'd searched all over the downloads page and saw that the
lastest release of CDT is 2.1.1. I hadn't seen the 3.0 build page, on
which the milestone release is listed. I'll try that out, then.

looks like eclipse 3.1 with CDT 3.0 does this with ctrl+shift+p.

thanks.
