Find Matching Brace (ctrl-b) works when the cursor is at a brace character. It is otherwise disabled.
It would be useful, when not at a brace character, for this to search backwards for the nearest brace and set the cursor position there.
In this way when you're positioned somewhere/anywhere within bracketed text you can simply use ctrl-b to jump to the brace that's at the start of the bracketing for the text.
Select to Matching Brace (ctrl-shift-b) selects bracketed text. Once the text is selected it would be useful if using this again would expand the selection to include the next level of outer bracketed text, as if it had been used for those braces. A series of ctrl-shift-b's starting at the deepest level of nested test would progressively enlarge the selection, until outermost braces are reached.
