Hi,
I added curly brace matching as well.
Thanks.
(defun match-paren (arg)
"Go to the matching parenthesis if on parenthesis, otherwise insert %.
(Like in VI editor). Thanks Fernando Dobladez <ferd@fuego.com>"
(interactive "p")
(cond
((looking-at "\\s\(") (forward-list 1) (backward-char 1))
((looking-at "\\s\)") (forward-char 1) (backward-list 1))
((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)))))
