Highlight closing brace in RB editor?

Ok.. This would come in handy and I'm guessing that someone already
knows how to do this and it's probably under my nose but I just don't
know where.. Anyway.. I'd like to be able to move my cursor over a open
block (e.g. "[") and see the respective block closure mark if it's
viewable.. This is a nice feature of the editor I use for my day job
(non ST) and I find myself looking at braces when I've got nested blocks
and this might make life easier. Thanks!

Hi Rick,

If you load up HyperRBCodeHighlighting you will get thie behaviour and
much more.

Cheers,
Michael

I usually just double click slightly inside one of them, the
selection goes to the closing brace ( works with parenthesis too).
It also works from the closing to the opening. A mouse hover thing
would be good too though.

Cool.. I've never done that before.. Works like a charm w/ the vanilla
RB setup.. Thanks!
