{}-block matching in minibuffer

{}-block matching in minibuffer

[Marc Tfardy]

Hi,

I use c-mode often and I have often very long if-blocks,
so when I close if-block with '}' I can't see the flashing
beginnig-} because it is not visible on the screen.
I know, there ist a method to say Emacs, it should display
the line with beginning-{ in minibufer when I close the
block, but I don't know how. Could someone give me one
hint? Thanks!


regards

Marc

Hint: The same question was asked here (gnu.emacs.help) 3 days ago.

Thanks for this hint! I found thread you mean ("matching
parenthesis").
In my emacs (21.3.1) directory was no file mic-paren.el, so I downloaded
it from http://user.it.uu.se/~mic/emacs.html and everything works fine!
Thanks again!
Which surprises me - many years ago this matching parenthesis over
screen limits is allready functioned and I had nothing to install.
Strangely...

regards

Marc

This version is fully outdated!!

Please go to the Emacs Wiki and download the current version:

It can be obtained from the packages-site of Emacs Wiki:
http://www.emacswiki.org/elisp/index.html.

Go down the list and find a current mic-paren.el. Much smarter than what you
have downloaded and fixes some bugs.

Ciao,
Klaus

Yes, I found this link already in "matching parenthesis", but
unfortunately I get:

Access forbidden!

You don't have permission to access the requested object. It is either 
read-protected or not readable by the server.

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
Error 403


But I will try later.

It works when you *insert* a closing parenthesis and the corresponding
openning one is not visible.
