use M-C-f to go forward from an open parenthesis, bracket,
or brace to just past its corresponding close. Similarly,
use M-C-b to go from just past the close to the open. The
commands bound to these keys are forward-sexp and backward-
sexp. they work in text documents as well as most other
major modes. good luck.
