shift+v, then %. I often use this combination in order to select an entire block of code, for example, a function. So, when I am over the function declaration line, I first press shift+v, this selects the current line and puts the cursor at the end of it (just over the first curly brace) then I press % in order to extend the selection to the end of the function declaration.

Problem is: % doesnt work in vintageous when I am in VISUAL LINE mode

This annoys the beep out of me. Use it all the time (in Vim)

Hey @jion, are you saying that in VIM going into visual mode moves the cursor for you? In my version of VIM (MacVim, 7.4) pressing V selects the whole line, but I still see my cursor on whatever character it was previously on.

I still have the same problem as you though, since there's no way for me to select the opening brace. Normally I'd just do $ to get to it, then %.

Nop. In Vim normally you need to press $ to reach the end of the line and then use % to move to the closing brace. But in Vintageous seems like the cursor is stuck to the end of the line and there is no way to move the cursor horizontally, and if you press % nothing happens
