Just to say the new double-click on brackets feature is great! Also appreciated: Choice of font size as well as theme in printing - very helpful!

Regarding “brackets” (paired characters) a key binding I use all the time is control-up and control-down which moves to the beginning or end of the current “enclosing pairs”.

This also works with shift to select, so if we have this line:

fprintf(stderr, "%s", ‸foo(bar));

Then we can use control-shift-down to select the last argument:

fprintf(stderr, "%s", [foo(bar)]);

Another key equivalent is shift-command-B which is basically the same as double-clicking one of the braces (with the caret inside), though it cascades outward, so if we take the same line as above but move caret like this:

fprintf(stderr, "%s", foo(‸bar));

Then first time we press shift-command-B we get:

fprintf(stderr, "%s", foo[(bar)]);

And on the next press we get:

fprintf[(stderr, "%s", foo(bar))];

Worth mentioning when you do these “unit” selections, you can extend the selection to either side, which depends on the first arrow key you use, so with the previous line, we can press option-shift-left to extend selection left by one word:

[fprintf(stderr, "%s", foo(bar))];
