It also allows you to match begin end pairs, but be aware that some language constructs have an end but no explicit begin. An example of this is Pascal's Case statement. Place the cursor on ({[< and press the command Ctrl K [. The cursor will be positioned on the matching >]}) or you will receive an error message if none can be found. Also, if you place the cursor on the B of begin and Word Fugue will position the cursor on the matching end for you. Please note that Word Fugue does not understand the syntax of various languages, so any constructs that do not have a begin but do have an end will throw out its count of begin end pairs.
