What did you do?

Open this file https://github.com/telerik/kendo-ui-core/blob/master/src/kendo.color.js in visual studio code and switch to NORMAL MODE, go to last line which begins with "}, typeof define == 'function' && define.amd", move cursor to col 1, that's should be under '}', now press %.

What did you expect to happen?

The cursor should go to '{' in line 3.

What happened instead?

Nothing happens.
Many times, press % will cause the cursor go to wrong places.

Technical details:

• VSCode Version: 1.3 /1.4
• VsCodeVim Version: [please ensure you are on the latest] 0.1.7
• OS: win7, 64bit

Yeah, this is a known issue unfortunately, We don't correctly handle cases like ( ")" ). Feel free to add it if you want 😉

@johnfn This seems to be fixed?

[jpoon]

Indeed, this looks to be working on 0.2.0.

[johnfn]

That's super weird, because our matching algorithm has never changed!

Something like ( ")" ) continues to trip us up, so I'm gonna keep this one open for now. 😉

Is there any reason we don't just useeditor.action.jumpToBracket?

Oh, here's one... It doesn't support multiple cursors >:(

[johnfn]

Ah multi cursors, the cause of, and solution to, all of VSCodeVim's problems.
