Missing Feature??

[Travis]

I was working with another editor because I was on a Mac. There is an option in BBEdit where when the file is recognized as source code, and you close a block, it highlights the other end of the program block. That way you know what you are closing. I switched over to TextPad because I am more comfortable, and like a lot of the features available. I tried to find a similar feature and couldn't... Does a feature like that exist????

Also loading and saving files to FTP was nice as well....

2. From the Search menu, choose the Match Bracket command. If there is one of the characters >}]), before the end of file, it will be selected.

To Select Text Between Brackets:<br>
1. Place the cursor to the left of the bracket to be matched. <br>
2. Type Ctrl+Shift+M. If there is a matching bracket, all intervening text will be selected. When matching forwards, both brackets are selected as well. When matching backwards, neither bracket is selected.

The shorter answer is, hit Ctrl-M.

Mark, I agree, but that would not have looked so clever without the first explanation being there. A bit of thouroughness goes a long way.
