Is there a keyboard shortcut for moving between HTML tags in NetBeans?

When editing an HTML file, if the cursor is on the opening tag, the corresponding tag is highlighted in the editor. I would like to be able to match a keyboard shortcut like alt + (or something else) to go to the closing tag. I searched for an existing action like this in tools-> options-> keymap, but did not find it, so I decided to try to create a macro for it, I found that I can do this in several ways: ctrl + / (minimize code), , ctrl + * (deploy code). I recorded a macro of this and he created this code:

collapse-fold-tree caret-forward expand-fold-tree 

Unfortunately, when I run the macro, the cursor stays in the same place, and does not end at the end of the closing tag, as is done in the manual steps. I successfully created a macro that moves from the closing tag to the opening tag:

 collapse-fold-tree expand-fold-tree 

but I can’t make it work forward. I also have a bad feeling that I just missed the action in the keyboard settings and am now trying to invent this wheel. Is this an action that already exists? And if not, does anyone know how I can make a macro work?

To do this, there is an action in the keyboard layout. It is called the "Bracket Insertion Point". The keyboard shortcut ctrl + [ or command + [ on Mac.

There is also a shortcut Ctrl + Shift + [ , which selects the contents inside this tag.
