There is no need to emulate anything that vi does.

Emacs contains all the elemental commands to navigate, or highlight
syntactic elements.

show-paren-mode highlights the matching paren.
blink-matching-open shows the matching paren in the mode-line
forward-sexp moves the cursor to the matching paren
backward-sexp likewise, but backwards

Of course, you may not like the key bindings for certain commands,
but you can remap these with global-set-key, or local-set-key.

Hi Tomas.

You can run that in any directory for which you have write privileges. I typically create a directory for the purpose of downloading software tarballs, etc.
