Description
I would like a feature where you could navigate by code block, basically it would stop on the next instance of { or } when navigating. My first inclination was to have it on ctrl+pgup/pgdn but it looks like those rearrange the windows.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing navigation commands and the current Ctrl+PgUp/PgDn window-rearrangement behavior. Determine how code blocks should be identified around { and }, choose an available shortcut, and define completion as navigation stopping at the next relevant brace without changing windows.
