You're right - the 'match' action currently enforces a character 
selection rather than using the block.defaultType (what one would indeed 
expect).  This was done because a rectangle selection will look weird in 
most cases, while a stream selection is a bit 'dangerous' (pressing a 
key will delete its text)...

On the same subject - note that there is a Ctrl+Shift+M key as well, 
which merely jumps to the matching bracket (key c-s-m, action findMatch).
