How to go to matching bracket in Eclipse IDE (in Text, Java or JavaScript)?

(match opening and closing brackets)

I naturally tried Ctrl+}, but it is not there.

You can see the setting for this in Preferences > General > Keys and search for Go to Matching Bracket.

On my Mac it is Shift+Cmd+P (so probably Shift+Ctrl+P on Windows/Linux).
