Does TextPad have the ability to match C braces like Vi

Post by VincePierre »

With Vi I can match C braces { using the percent key. Does anyone know if this is possible in TextPad??? Many thanks in advance!

Ctrl-M (for all types)
see TP's help with "How to Find a Matching Bracket"

you can also select the block within Ctrl-Shift-M
(yummy - TP is THIS close to folding ;))

What do you mean by "folding" ?

Lines within block's of code can be hidden/unhidden with all sort's of
options to give a quick or better overview of it.

Try playing around with http://www.jedit.org if you can't wait for it ;)

CTRl+M BUGS!

Post by Guest »

The "CTRL+M"-thing seems to be a little buggy, though... I just tested it in a java-file. When i have a "{" in a COMMENT, TextPad acts as if it was not in a comment when i press CTRL+M (that is - it matches the wrong } or { if my comment was inbetween those)

For example try writing:

{
// {
}

and try matching braces with CTRL+M.



Anyway, is there a way to make TextPad *color highlight* the matching bracket, when i move the cursor to a bracket? (like many other texteditors can do - guess u know what i mean)
