Match Brace

[martinog]

Hi All,

Is there any way to do the 'match brace' thing without selecting the text in between? I simply want to quickly position the cursor at the matching brace, not select anything. Also, if I want to quickly go back to the previous brace, can I do that?

I'm coming from vi & ms visual c++. Both of these had a 'match brace' function that did what I want. I could position the cursor at a opening or closing brace, then hitting the key-command takes me to the matching brace *without selecting anything* and *I can easily go back & forth from opening brace to closing brace*.

Just wondering if I'm the only one who's struggling with Ultra Edit's implementation of 'matching brace' functionality.

Thanks.

Try assigning this macro to a keystroke of your choice.

InsertMode
ColumnModeOff
IfCharIs "["
MatchBrace
Key LEFT ARROW
ExitMacro
EndIf
IfCharIs "("
MatchBrace
Key LEFT ARROW
ExitMacro
EndIf
IfCharIs "{"
MatchBrace
Key LEFT ARROW
ExitMacro
EndIf
IfCharIs "]"
MatchBrace
Key RIGHT ARROW
Key LEFT ARROW
ExitMacro
EndIf
IfCharIs ")"
MatchBrace
Key RIGHT ARROW
Key LEFT ARROW
ExitMacro
EndIf
IfCharIs "}"
MatchBrace
Key RIGHT ARROW
Key LEFT ARROW
ExitMacro
EndIf
