Bracket matching in COBOL

Bracket matching is a feature in Eclipse that allows you to visually match opening brackets to closing brackets to get an even better overview about what parts of the code to belong to each other.

That feature seems to be missing in the COBOL Editor of IDz. If you have a lot of mathematical COMPUTE Statements, it would make life much easier.

    The COBOL Editor in IDz does highlight matching parenthesis.

    This preference can be toggled on the preference page COBOL > Editor

    There you can enable/disable the highlight matching, and change the color of the highlight.

    Does this meet your needs or is there another character pairing you want to support highlight matching for?
