If you scroll to the bottom of the section which contains the target
of ":help [[", you'll find this:
If your '{' or '}' are not in the first column, and you would
like to use "[[" and "]]" anyway, try these mappings: >
:map [[ ?{<CR>w99[{
:map ][ /}<CR>b99]}
:map ]] j0[[%/{<CR>
:map [] k$][%?}<CR>
I tried the [[ mapping in this message and it did find the opening {
of func(). The disadvantage to this particular set of mappings is
that they affect the search register. A better approach would be to
do the searching within functions and have the mappings call those
functions. I've written a plugin that does this. I'll post it here
if anyone is interested.
