Free IDE with Parenthesis Matching?

[Rogue Noir]

Can someone recommend a free IDE (open source or for Windows) that supports
automatic parethesis matching (when you type a right-parenthesis, it briefly
highlights the corresponding matching parenthesis)?

Maybe Textpad (www.textpad.com) can do the trick. It's not really an IDE,
more like a plain text editor with all kinds of bells and whistles like
customizable syntax highlighting, regex search&replace and bracket /
parenthesis matching.

It's shareware, however.
Cheers.

Leon.

It's a really good editor. Can interface with MinGW if you use that for your
compiler.

Try that. The package comes with few extensions and customizations to the
original version.

Try VIM for windows: http://www.vim.org/download.php#pc
To match braces hit Alt+5 while at a parenthesis/brace.

Or SourceEdit: http://www.sourcedit.com
To match brace go into tools/options/keyboard/GoToMatchBrace and put in a
shortcut.

Most IDE's (for programming) have such facilities built in. You will
probably just have to dig in the options/keyboard shortcuts to find them.
Good luck!

Gnu Emacs and Xemacs both have Win32 ports and sophisticated built-in
program editor facilities with syntac coloring parenthesis and brace
matching etc. and are fully free software
