Another simple way of doing it is to load vip-mode - then the % key will
assuming the cursor is on a parentesis move it to the correspondong open or
close parentesis (if it exists) it also works on braces and brackets.

PS:
Once vip-mode is loaded you can easily switch mode between vip-mode and
emacs-mode with ctrl-z.
