Guys,

Before “upgrading” to myeclipse, I was using the standard eclipse IDE on a daily basis for over 2 yrs now. One function that is absolutely necessary for me while coding is being able to navigate to the matching brace/bracket with any hot key combination.

In the standard eclipse Java editor, you can do this by positioning the caret after the brace/bracket, and then hitting Ctrl-]. The caret will be moved to the matching brace/bracket.

myeclipse highlights the code, but this is not as useful when that selection can not all be displayed in one screen.

I have searched the forums, the FAQs, and the help files, and I do not find anything regarding this. I find it hard to believe I am the only developer that uses this functionality to match up braces/brackets. Is this on an enhancement list????

Dan,
You are the first user to point out the lack of this support in our editors. I have filed it as an enhancement.

Khalid,
I’m not aware of a timeline set for this in our editors.

This function seems to still be available-

from menu:
Navigate > Go To > Matching Bracket

keyboard shortcut:
Ctrl+Shift+P

(Eclipse 3.1.1/MyEclipse 4.0.0)
