Is there a way in Visual Studio 2008 to go from a closing brace to it's opening brace? I've found a fair amount of stuff about highlighting the brace, but nothing about moving the cursor to it.

A:
Use CTRL + ] to switch between them. Place the cursor at one of the braces when using it.

I found this for you: Jump between braces in Visual Studio
Put your cursor before or after the brace (your choice) and then press Ctrl+]. It works with either curly or round braces. From now on you don’t need to play Where’s Waldo? to find that brace.

Note that this shortcut might be different on non-English keyboards. on my German one I have to press two keys to enter a `]` character (`AltGr`+`9`). To jump at matching braces/parentheses/square brackets (unfortunately for C++ programmers, they forgot angle brackets), I need to press `Ctrl`+` ` `, even though I use the English version of VS. Anyway, you can find out about this (or change it) under Tools/Options/Environment/Keyboard. The command is names "Edit.GotoBrace".

In my Portuguse keyboard and SO with EN VS it's CTRL + « to navigate to matching brace and CTRL + SHIFT + « if you pretend to select the inner code.
