If you miss VI's % too much, you'd probably like to include the
following in your .emacs:
(defun match-paren (arg)
"Go to the matching parenthesis if on parenthesis, otherwise insert %.
(Like in VI editor)"
(interactive "p")
(cond ((looking-at "\\s\(") (forward-list 1) (backward-char 1))
((looking-at "\\s\)") (forward-char 1) (backward-list 1))
(t (self-insert-command (or arg 1)))))
(global-set-key "%" 'match-paren)
That will make the '%' go to the matching brace if the cursor is on a
brace, and it will insert "%" otherwise.
Fernando.
