# Brace Matching

Notepad++ can search for matching brace pairs. Placing the cursor at one brace will automatically search for the matching other brace, and highlight it (see Styler Configurator). You can move the cursor to the matching brace by selecting Search->Go to matching brace.

To avoid the annoyances of matching unmatched braces, Notepad++ provides a facility to autocomplete them as you type. If you need to pair up characters that are not traditionally considered as braces, you can specify such pairs as well. Use the auto-completion page on the Preferences wizard to specify your choices.
