Ooops I guess you are right. Nothing changed and I
could have sworn having seen something in the release notes. I thought that in
previous versions, Ctrl-] then Ctrl-[ would not even go back to the beginning of
the block (they were not inverse operations). I must have being working too
late...
I agree with you 200% anyway like a lot did. It is
a complete departure from all editors I have used and really annoying. Usually
Ctrl-] or similar action goes just right after the current block closing
parenthesis and Ctrl-[ right after the closing paren of a block goes to the same
block opening paren and not the outer block.
However my previous post is still valid: the paren
matching highlighting is not in sync with the block navigation actions which I
believe is not really intuitive. I believe that these two operations
should be consistent. If a block is highlighted and I invoke the operation
"go to beginning of block", IMHO it is reasonable to expect that they would
target the same block regardless of what we are used to.
