I know that gtksourceview (used in GtkIDE) is capable of providing support for bracket matching. When I put together the language definition file and style scheme definition I put it in the "will do later" box. I think I decided that it might not be straightforward because a non-matched right bracket is used to close explicit definitions. I agree it would be nice to have. If anyone interested in scratching that particular itch here are some starting resources: http://developer.gnome.org/gtksourceview/stable/rn02.html http://git.gnome.org/browse/gtksourceview/tree/data/language-specs/j.lang http://developer.gnome.org/gtksourceview/stable/GtkSourceBuffer.html#gtk-source-buffer-get-highlight-matching-brackets ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
