There are many ways to achieve that:
- C-M-b C-M-f to move backward and forward a balanced expression.
- Delete and reinsert the parenthesis. You will see in the echo area
the text "Matches ..." that informs you about the matching
parenthesis.
- In Emacs 29, I introduced a new defcustom for show-paren-mode,
show-paren-context-when-offscreen, which will automatically show the
matching parenthesis information in the echo area when the point is
next to the closing parenthesis, without needing to reinsert it.
