Ahoi,
i recently switched from SSMS 17 to 18 due to a server upgrade.
Now i seem to miss a certain feature i would love not to miss, but i can not find it anymore.
In the 17.x version i used previously, there was a shortcut for finding the matching parenthesis.
It allowed you to mark an opening parenthesis, use the shortcut and it will find the corresponding closing one.
It used to be:
ctrl + 9
ctrl + shift + 9
Neither of them seem to work in the most recent version of SSMS?
Anyone knows if the featuere still exists or why it has been removed????
I want to be the very best

Never heard of that one. I went and looked up the shortcuts documented in SSMS. I think it's a custom one that someone put together. At least the current documentation shows it that way. I even set it back to 2016 and it showed the same, so... I'm not sure.

SSMS shows you the matching parenthesis when your cursor is on the matching parenthesis. Some times it is hard to see it, so you can configure it to use a different colure. Here is a link to an article that shows you who to do it:

I fired up SSMS17, and it seems that Ctrl+9 was bound to Edit.GotoBrace, which has a different default key binding in SSMS18. I'm not fully certain that this is the function you are looking for though, as nothing seemed to happen when I tried it.
You can chance the keyboard bindings under Tools->Options.

Yeah i was aware of that, but the idea to change the color to make it actually more visible did not even come to my mind.
Thanks alot, i guess this will be the new replacement/goto variant.

CTRL+] might achieve the behaviour you are looking for. Please see this MS article for details.
