I'm not completely positive this is what you're talking about, and
looking for, but I think you want the option "showmatch".  This will
cause it to flash to the opening brace/bracket/paren when you type the
closing one, showing you where it's "matching" brace is.

You can turn it on in the editor by typing ":set showmatch", or you can
add "set showmatch" to your .vimrc or your .exrc so it will always be
enabled.
