vim : bounce to the nearest enclosing paren

say I have text such as 

CREATE TABLE blah blah (
`id` int not null,
`xxxxxx` varchar(255),
PRIMARY KEY (`id`) )

and cursor is on the "xxxxxx" - what can I do to quickly jump to the opening "(" - or the closing one for that matter. I can use "F" but that only finds within the line.

Two possibilities:

  • Use [( ; see :help [( for more detail.
  • Use ?( and ENTER. See :help ? for more detail.
