Leo's match-brackets command is an essential tool when trying to make sense
of javascript files.
Here are two tips relating to this command.
1. Bind a keystroke to match-brackets. I use Ctrl-comma. It's too clumsy to
use Ctrl-P, repeat-complex command.
2. Executing match-brackets *twice* selects a region leaving the cursor
(insert point) unchanged. This makes creating new sections easy. For
example,
<hairy stuff> function(...) {
// who know where it all ends
To create a section for this complex function do the following:
A. Create a section reference before the function:
<< new section >>
<hairy stuff> function(...) {
// who know where it all ends
B. Put the cursor on either side of the curly bracket that start the
function and do match-brackets twice. This selects the body of the
function, leaving the cursor unchanged.
C. Extend the selection to the start of the << new section >> line with
Shift-Home followed by Shift-Up-Arrow.
D. Create the new section with Shift-Ctrl-D, the 'extract' command.
