Question

Is there a vim command to move the cursor to the parent bracket?

I have a configuration file like this one, and I want to go straight to the parent bracket. Is there a simple movement command to do this, or is there a way to combine commands to do what I want?

PARENT{ // I want to move my cursor here

   CHILD { stuff... }
   CHILD { stuff... }
   CHILD { stuff... }

...

   CHILD { stuff... } // my cursor is on this line
   CHILD { GRANDCHILD { more stuff } }
   CHILD { stuff... }
}

Yes. Do [{ in normal mode for that. It might not work for all languages though.

Many move commands are available at :help [.
