find matching parenthesis

Solved!
Go to solution

Is there a shortcut key in the source code IDE to move the cursor to the matching opening or closing parenthesis ? Can't seem to figure out how to do this. If I position the cursor on a "{" for example, I want to find the matching "}". Is there a way to do this ?

Having made my shortest post ever, I have to expand on it now. 🙂   <Ctrl>B will select the matching brackets or braces enclosing the cursor position. Try pressing it multiple times to expand outward from nested braces. Very useful.

Just a hint to remember the shortcut. B stands for "balance" 🙂

 

And Ian, I did not know pressing it multiple times expanded it !

Thank you for the details !
