Did you mean something else?

Um, from reading your text, "If I can't have my jetpack I can at least have an editor that can show me where a block starts. Emacs does this when you type the closing brace. I'm not sure how to get it to do it on-hover", I understood that as "highlight the matching curly" whenever the cursor is on a { or }
It's not very useful if the matching curly has scrolled off the top of the screen, ie. I can't see it. Setting show-paren-style to "parenthesis" it will highlight the other paren, which is off screen. If I use "expression" it will highlight the whole block, but the condition still lies off screen and out of sight.
What I really want is it to say "Matches if( foo ) {", like it does when you type a closing brace. Show me the first line of the block so I can see the condition, the important bit.

This is why I use Aquamacs [aquamacs.org]. :) But really I just mean when the cursor is over a paren or brace rather then when it's typed.
