Is it just me or is Edit, Find Matches (Ctrl-M) broken in v7? The key mapping is there (i.e. it's not a key mapping issue). It works in v6.
Find matching pair (Ctrl-M) not working
- Thread starter William Robertson
- Start date
The "Find Matches" function is only useful if the "Highlight if, loop, case and block keywords" preference is disabled. Otherwise they are already highlighted.

It used to take the cursor to the opening/closing bracket (like pressing '%' in vi). Sometimes that is off the current page.
btw, it would be nice to be able to select from the current position to the opening/closing bracket, as this could be a large subquery that you might want to test on its own.

"it used to..." I wish that it still did, using the hilite method I could miss the hilited match
"it would be nice..." I'd love that too
"it would be nice..." I'd love that too
I have added this to the list of enhancement requests.

Is it still in this list? It is quite difficult now to find a matching pair for a bracket if this pair happens to be outside of the current page.
Old behavior of Ctrl-M was much more useful IMHO.

a work around might be (at least if you use the version of 7 that shows the current location in the toolbar of the program window) to click on the far right 'button' to select all of the statement that contains the pair. Then, at least, you know the upper and lower limits of where to look.
not perfect by a long shot, but it might be helpful.

Hello,
just wanted to add, that I miss the find matching brackets functionality too. I don't understand the workaround you explained, ScottMattes. What would the far right 'button' be? Are you referring just to the program window?
It's not just needed there, but in all windows really.

The 'far right button' that I said to use is, hmmm, how do people put screen shots into these posts!?!?!?!
When you edit a program unit (package, stored procedure or function) there is a toolbar just above the code. The contents of this toolbar changes depending on where in the code your insertion point (i.e. where the new text would appear if you started typing) is.
The contents of the toolbar are buttons and if you put your cursor over any of the buttons the code area changes to show you what lines go with the button. If you click a button that causes the corresponding lines in the code window to be hilighted and you can copy them to the clipboard, erase them, etc.
Right now I have 7 buttons on my toolbar and they say "declaration", "procedure", "declaration", "procedure", "code section", "if" and "condition".
The 'far right' button is the one for the line that your insertion point is currently on.
My workaround isn't the best because there is no button for just the contents between "(" and ")", etc.
