Well, when using braces, I can jump directly to the matching brace, or param,
or bracket, no matter if the matching brace is in the same line or more lines
below or above, and this with TextPad which is something I can't change, even
though I have tried very many other editors, and I explained why in a thread a
long time ago.
I don't like to use an editor for each programming language, because each one
has its own hotkeys for doing something, and it is more confusing so less
productive.

In perl there can't be just a single statement, because the if () should be
followed by a block of braces, no matter if that block contains just one
statement or more, so you will know that after an if there should appear a
brace. If I want to jump at the end of the block, I hit the end key, then press
the TextPad hotkey for jumping to the matching brace, and the cursor will be
placed there without needing to move the cursor up or down and without needing
to listen to bings and bangs.
I have also seen that in the newer versions of Jaws, instead of announcing
percentages in some dialogs I use to hear a kind of beeps which is very
annoying. I prefer to set Jaws to use just a single voice type for absolutely
any kind of text read for messages, PC cursor, Jaws cursor, with the same pitch
and no defined sound scheme of beeps and bangs, and I also prefer to hear as
few messages as possible.

If you use to arrow down, the ending } is usually placed alone in a line, so if
you haven't found it when arrowing down, you'll know that that block is not
ended.
But hearing bing bings for 20 times... I don't think it is something too
friendly.
