Yet another one for Emacs users that don't use paredit: I have Paren Match Highlighting enabled and set to highlight the entire expression within matching parens (the highlighting kicks in when the cursor is before the opening paren or after the closing paren):
(show-paren-mode 1) (setq show-paren-style 'expression) In addition to helping me match up parens, it also helps me see the "scope" of extended expressions like "let" or "for" at a glance.
