When I'm editing a JSP or a Java class, and the cursor is at the beginning

of a < or ( or { or anything that IDEA matches to the closing scope ( >, )
or } ), is there any key combo I can press once to select/highlight to the
end of the scope?

It's easy in Homesite.. you can CTRL-Double-Click or

CTRL-SHIFT-Double-Click and you get these behaviors:
>

<h1>
text
</h1>

CTRL-Double-Click on <h1> and it selects the opening <h1> element.

CTRL-SHIFT-Double-Click and it selects the entire tag, from to and everything in between. >]]>

Anything similar in IDEA?

Thanks. This is close to what I'm looking for.

Seems buggy tho. I just tried it in a jsp, on this code:

|   <% }%>]]>*

I hit CTRL-SHIFT-} where the | is, and it selected all the way to the * instead of to the end of the tr.

and on this:

|<cqt:ForEach name="foo" type="foo.bar.Foo" group="<%= bean.getData() %>" >
</cqt:ForEach>

Hitting CTRL-SHIFT-} where the | does nothing.

See SCR 2480 for more discussion on the problems with CTRL-[, CTRL-], CTRL-SHIFT-[, and CTRL-SHIFT-]. Some of the reported behavior is out of date now, but numerous problems still exist (especially when matching parens).
