Re: command help : matching braces

[Matthew O. Smith]

Hi,

I added curly brace matching as well.
Thanks.

(defun match-paren (arg)
  "Go to the matching parenthesis if on parenthesis, otherwise insert %.
(Like in VI editor).  Thanks Fernando Dobladez <ferd@fuego.com>"
  (interactive "p")
  (cond
   ((looking-at "\\s\(") (forward-list 1) (backward-char 1))
   ((looking-at "\\s\)") (forward-char 1) (backward-list 1))
   ((looking-at "\\s\{") (forward-list 1) (backward-char 1))
   ((looking-at "\\s\}") (forward-char 1) (backward-list 1))
   (t (self-insert-command (or arg 1)))))
