I repost it here incase people searching these forms should hit this thread. I didn't really like the idea of turning on a whole vi like mode and I guess a good number of others didn't either. >From the emacs FAQ * Here is some Emacs Lisp that will make the <%> key show the matching parenthesis, like in `vi'. In addition, if the cursor isn't over a parenthesis, it simply inserts a % like normal. ;; By an unknown contributor (global-set-key "%" 'match-paren) (defun match-paren (arg) "Go to the matching paren if on a paren; otherwise insert %."
