 And also one that will make mcedit much more usable for programmers:
* frq: command "jump to matching brace/bracket" - that will position the
	cursor under the brace that is opposite to the one under the cursor,
	and on the same nesting level. mcedit already highlights the matching
	brace, the only thing needed is to jump there (sometimes
	matching braces are  too far from the cursor to be visible).
