For the source generated by Hex Ray's decompiler in IDA, is it possible to highlight matching braces once I place the pointer at the beginning of a block?

As an example, in the screenshot below, the if block begins at line# 263 and ends at line# 269. What I want is, if I place the cursor at line# 263, IDA should highlight the block end at line# 269. Is such a feature available? Many code editors provides similar feature to make code browsing easier for larger blocks of code.

There is no way to do this by default. Checkout the Hexlight plugin by Milan Bohacek. It will highlight the line with the matching brace.

Example from Hex-Rays site: enter image description here

  • It's useless. If you scroll down, the cursor moves from the selection and highlighting doesn't work for large block of code. Thanks though for trying to help me out.

    If you want to go to the end of the block you can hit 'b' at the curly brace.
