Is there a way to "navigate parentheses"?

[arcimboldo]

I often use C-M-n and C-M-p to go to the end or the beginning of enclosing parentheses, see https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/NavigatingParentheses.

In vscode-emacs-mcx however C-M-n and C-M-p are mapped to "Add selection to (next|previous) find match".

What is the best way to remap the keys so that they behave like in emacs? Would it be possible to have a setting in the extension?

Thnx a lot for your work!

Hi,
You can assign forward-sexp (C-M-f) and backward-sexp (C-M-b) to C-M-n and C-M-p respectively.

This extension has such sexp commands but they are not exactly same as Emacs but they are just parentheses-based navigations, so forward-sexp is same as forward-list in this extension.

This extension copied a bunch of keybindings from Emacs Friendly Keymap and the current C-M-n assignment was one of them. However, we should fix them for better Emacs emulation.

I map both of these to the "Go to Bracket" command.
