Assuming you mean the Match Braces feature in the Source menu, there isn't
a way to alter how that works now although you could write a small script
to move the cursor to the right one and then do the brace match.  Also
doing Match Braces twice in a row may get you want you want.

A script would look something like this:

import wingapi
def my_brace_match():
   app = wingapi.gApplication
   ed = app.GetActiveEditor()
   if ed is not None:
     app.ExecuteCommand('forward-char')
     app.ExecuteCommand('brace-match')

You may need to refer to the scripting documentation if you try this:
