I am a new registered user to textmate.
I realize that textmate implements automatic pairing of delimiters such as
parentheses. However, this does not prevent you from removing one of the
paired parentheses etc during the editing process. In vi, I would use ³%²
to toggle between open and close delimiters to debug syntax. I can¹t find a
similar feature in textmate.
I wonder if someone has written a macro to implement this. or am I missing a
feature? Is this specific to a bundle? I am using the R and C bundles.
thanks!

Have you noticed that when you "pass over" the closing paren/brace/
bracket/quote, the opening one will blink? By pass over, I mean
either (1) typing the closing character TextMate has already inserted
for you, or (2) using the arrow key to move right over the closing
character. If you don't get a blink, then the closing paren/brace/
bracket/quote is unmatched. This won't help you if the opening
character is not on the screen, but works pretty well (IMO) for
double-checking on your way out of a complex, nested expression.

peter r,
i have recently begun using textmate over my beloved vim. i have
searched for the "%" equivalent for a while now. i have found two
things that get me close to what we are used to in vim. as pete above
mentioned, the Shift-Command-B is quite handy. i have also found that
Option-Down Arrow is useful. i use it when i'm on the opening line of
a large function or statment. if you go to the beginning of the line,
then hit Option-Down Arrow, it will take you to the first line after
the function or statement. i would love to see matching braces
functionality in textmate, but i have found that these two methods can
accomplish most of the same things.
