Jump to Matching Scope/Create

Scope refers to the range of messages between matching "enter scope" and "exit scope" messages.

The enter/exit messages have a unique icon that looks like an arrow. If you open a log and put the focus on an "enter scope" message and clic Jump to Matching Scope, the focus jumps to the matching enter/exit scope, whether that is forward or backward from the current position. If you are on a regular Note, Warning, or Error message, then that action has no matching twin and a beep sounds.

The "create" part refers to the "start logging" and "stop logging" messages.  If you're in a standard log an on the first message (the 'start logging' message) and press the button it jumps to the last line where the log is closed.  That is not very interesting, but if you snip or merge log files, then this command has more meaning.
