Is there a way to have % in vim find the next ([{ or whatever, even if it is not on the same line?

Example:

int main(int argc, char ** argv) {      #Your cursor is somewhere in this comment, I want      #it to get to the ( after printf      printf('Hello there.\n'); }

    If you want to find opening braces on subsequent lines, without plugins, just enter normal mode and type:

    /{ [enter] 

    Where { is the type of brace your looking for.

    You can then browse them all with n and N.

    To map the F12 key to turn search highlighting on and off use this trick.
