Describe the feature

When working with .jsx, .tsx, .html and etc files, the Shift + 5 keybinding does not jump between open and closing HTML/JSX tags although it works for brackets. This keybinding is expected to help navigate between matching pairs of tags but fails to do so.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open any .jsx, .tsx, or .html file in Vim.
2. Place the cursor on an opening or closing HTML/JSX tag.
3. Press Shift + %.
4. Expected Behavior:
5. The cursor should jump to the matching closing or opening tag.

Actual Behavior:

• No navigation occurs, or the cursor jumps incorrectly.

@ConradIrwin I would have love to help you but I don't have enough rust knowledge

Guys I know there would have been other important issues/feature which would be more important than this issue/feature but this is the only one which is stopping me to completely switch to zed.
I am open for any help to get this issue resolved, it's just that I don't know enough rust to fix this issue. I am still learning.

is it feasible to support this feature in a generic way, where you want to jump between matching {, ( and ], without it being powered by tree sitter queries? so it would work in any file out of the box like vim for instance?

or is there an existing way to solve that problem with current zed features?
