How do I jump to a closing bracket in Visual Studio Code

Question

In VSCode when I type a bracket  e g      it automatically creates the ending bracket       Are there any shortcuts to jump to the closing bracket or parenthesis  without pressing the  End  key   I found a way to do in Sublime Text 2 that did exactly that  using a Regex in the User s Key Bindings  but couldn t find a way to do it in VSCode

Details that can benefit everyone  Linux Win Mac   The command in the keyboard shortcuts menu editor is editor action jumpToBracket there you can set it to whatever you like  There is also one called editor action selectToBracket which has no shortcut by default  at least on Mac    Etc   On the Mac editor action jumpToBracket starts out as Cmd Shift    and I changed it to Ctrl   because I didn t want a Shift in there and to be in line with what others here say works on Linux Win  I did so in the hopes that I could use Ctrl Shift   to  Extend selection to matching bracket   That is what lead me to discover the details above  I set editor action selectToBracket to Ctrl Shift   and got exactly the behavior I wanted

Simply adding opening tag and writing element name and while adding closing tag with pressing shift button keyword will do the job   For example  If i need to write  lt Text gt  lt  Text gt   I will write    lt Text and will press  gt    Shifttogether  it will provide me desired opening closing tag of Text element   Thanks  Nirmala
