Code Editor: Locate the matching curly brace for the current brace

Keystroke = ALT + [
            ALT + ]

When the cursor is positioned on a curly brace, the Code Editor can find the matching curly brace if you press and hold the ALT key and then press either of the two bracket keys ( [ or ] ).

Note: Although the keystroke for a curly brace is SHIFT + [ (look at your keyboard to see what I mean), notice that you don't need to use the SHIFT key to find the matching brace. ALT + [ is good enough.

Note: Commenting out a curly brace does not preclude it from the search for a matching brace.
