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))];
