I found that if the chosen perspective doesn t match the type of the current file  then  go to matching brace  doesn t work   However  changing perspectives makes it work again   So  for example  when I have a PHP file open  but  say  the Java perspective active  pressing Ctrl   Shift   P does nothing   For the same file with the PHP perspective active  pressing Ctrl   Shift   P does exactly what you d expect and puts my cursor beside the closing brace relative to the one it started at
