What is the keymap for navigating to the matching brace in IntelliJ IDEA?

public void blah() {|
   ...

}

If | is my cursor, I would like to jump to the closing brace with this keymap.

I've only verified this with IntelliJ 9 but:

On Windows:

  • Ctrl+} will move to the close bracket.

  • Ctrl+{ will move to the open bracket.

On Mac:

  • Use cmd instead of Ctrl.
