Hi

PCLinuxOS(rolling release) 64bit -> KDE5 -> FPC 3.2.2 -> Lazarus 3.6 up until Jan 2024 from then on it's both above &: KDE5/QT5 -> FPC 3.3.1 -> Lazarus 4.99

If you want to go really radical, you can set up User Defined Markup to highlight any brackets in any color (font, background, style, frame). Example in attachment.

However, this feature is quite complex to set up (especially priorities), and the wiki article is not complete. But this function has a huge number of use cases.
