Sam does brace matching with a double click on button 1:

     Button 1 changes selection.  Pointing to a non-current window with but-
     ton 1 makes it current; within the current window, button 1 selects
     text, thus setting dot.  Double-clicking selects text to the boundaries
     of words, lines, quoted strings or bracketed strings, depending on the
     text at the click.

It lets your left hand do auto indent.  Just how hard is it to type tab?
