Jump between the “if” and “fi” in vim, while editing a bash script?

Question

Just like you could jump between pairs, i.e (), can I extend this feature to jump between beginning tags and ending tags?

i.e in bash, jump between if and fi

Answer 1

Here is an example. Suppose you have this code and you press %, the cursor jumps between { and } parens:

Matchit.vim extends this functionality, you can do the same with () just move cursor on ( and press %, it jumps between pairs of parenthesis ( )'s, { }'s, [ ]'s. It also jumps between opening and closing tags of C style comments /* and */. And it's smart enough to jump between C preprocessor directives - from #if to #endif and match #elif or #else in between
