matchit

Jump between matching HTML tags, brackets and other items in VS Code. It's ported from Vim matchit by Benji Fisher.

The extension provides the command MatchIt: Jump Items to jump between HTML tags or brackets to help Javascript developer using JSX and React.

It's generic enough to support HTML/CSS/C/C++/Java/Perl/Javascript.

There are also commands Matchit: Select Items and Matchit: Delete Items.

Features

Press Ctrl+Shift+\ (on Mac it's CMD+Shift+\) or run command MatchIt: Jump Items to jump between HTML tags or brackets

Run command MatchIt: Select Items to select area marked by matching tags or brackets.

In below code, if cursor is at the beginning or end of class, function, conditional statement, html tag, you can use all commands from this extension.

Please note the cursor is not required exactly over the bracket character. The matching algorithm is smart enough to find correct matching item automatically.

export default class DropdownWithFilter extends PureComponent {
  render() {
    const {
      id,
      className,
      style,
      ...props
    } = this.props;
    if(!id) {
      return null;
    }
    return (
      <select
        id={id}
        className={className}
        style={style}
      >
        <option value="1">1</option>
        <option value="1">1</option>
      </select>
    );
  }
}

Jumping between matched items in other programming languages are also doable. For example, users can jump between C/C++ macros.

Feel free to send me the patch or raise a feature request.
