Vim - Matching Braces

Matching {}, (), [], /* */, can be very helpful when using vi to read a program code.

In command mode, take your cursor to one of the start/end braces or comment mark and press %, that is, Shift + 5 on most keyboards.

Another useful trick is to highlight the code between the matching tags, and can be achieved simply by:
:noremap % v%
