is there a keyboard shortcut to "goto matching bracket" ?

hello , i am using version 11

in sql sheets i see matching brackets being highlighted, but i could not find a keyboard shortcut to "go to matching bracket"

that would be very handy e.g. to easily select the text within a "with" clause and execute/test just that bit of logic
 
In Edit menu, there is a "Find Matches" entry that used to work up to v8, I think. Its standard shortcut is Ctrl+M and it would move you from one bracket to its match. Pressing Shift+Ctrl+M used to do just what you want, but this functionality has been out of order for a while. It also worked with if...end if, loop..end loop, begin..end, and so on.
I can't say if it even exists in v12 anymore.
 
I can confirm Gustavo's comment.
That option stopped working a long time ago. And I could swear Marco promised to fix it when it was reported by someone back then (the option was still available in version 10, in the Key Configuration list, in Preferences).
That option's gone now (in version 12). I don't find it.
I guess it was removed in favor or "highlighting groups" (for the lack of a better term) matching parenthesis, or if-then-else-end if, or loop-(including while and for)-end loop, etc. They are highlighted when you place the cursor on any of them.
 
Thank you, i see Ctrl-M in V11's menu indeed, but it is apparently broken. Too bad, I find this functionality really useful in other tools.

It doesn't work for me even in PSD 7 (a 10 years old version): Ctrl+M doesn't seem to do anything and Shift+Ctrl+M is just like pressing Enter.

I've been through every version since October 1996, so it is hard to know exactly when it stopped working. :P
 
hello, i'd like to raise this issue as a bugfix request, is there another channel to get the developers' attention ?
