Jump to Matching Tag / Bracket

Instantly jump between an opening tag/bracket and its matching closing counterpart — and back again — with a single keystroke.

Features

Tag jump — place your cursor anywhere inside an opening or closing tag and press the shortcut to jump to the other end.
Bracket jump — jump between matching { }, ( ), and [ ].
Smart string & comment awareness — brackets inside strings, template literals, and comments are never mistaken for real brackets.
TypeScript-safe — pure .ts / .js files skip tag parsing entirely, so TypeScript generics (Array<T>) and type assertions (<Type>value) are never misidentified.
Temporary highlight — the destination is briefly highlighted so you always know where you landed.
Right-click context menu — the command is also available in the editor context menu under Navigation.

Category	Languages
HTML-like	HTML, Twig, XML, PHP, Blade, Vue, Markdown
JSX / TSX	JSX, JavaScriptReact, TSX, TypeScriptReact
Bracket-only	JavaScript, TypeScript, CSS, SCSS, Sass, Less, JSON, JSONC

Platform	Default shortcut
Windows / Linux	`Ctrl+M`
macOS	`Cmd+M`

You can rebind the command jumpToMatch.jump in File > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts.

Setting	Type	Default	Description
`jumpToMatch.highlightMatch`	`boolean`	`true`	Briefly highlight the destination after jumping.
`jumpToMatch.highlightDurationMs`	`number`	`800`	How long the highlight stays visible (milliseconds).

Place your cursor on or inside any tag or bracket.
Press the shortcut (Ctrl+M / Cmd+M).
The cursor jumps to the matching tag or bracket and it is temporarily highlighted.
Press again to jump right back.

Tag parsing is intentionally disabled for pure .ts and .js files.
This prevents false matches on TypeScript-specific syntax:

// These would look like tags without the guard — they are not
const arr: Array<string> = [];
const x = <MyType>someValue;

Bracket matching still works perfectly in .ts / .js, and tag matching is fully active in .tsx and .jsx.

TypeScript: disabled tag parsing for .ts / .js to avoid false positives on generics and type assertions.
JS/TS bracket matching now ignores brackets inside strings, template literals, and comments.
All user-facing text translated to English.
Added extension icon.
