Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
On longer files, it's difficult to find/see matching braces if they are not visible in the current window view. When you click on a brace, it highlights the matching brace for a second or two, but on longer documents, this isn't useful.

Describe the solution you'd like
When your cursor is on a brace, maintain some sort of highlighting on the matching brace so you can scroll up/down in the document to find the matching brace easily. As well, a menu option and/or shortcut to jump to the matching brace.

Describe alternatives you've considered
The alternatives I've considered are trying to scroll really, really fast before the current highlight disappears. This didn't work. :-)

Additional context
Nuthin.

FYI, you can select the content of matching braces by double clicking a brace.

@1024jp is there a keyboard shortcut to highlight and select the text within the braces? So if the cursor is within a brace i want to select that bracket like double clicking the brace.
