j go down one line
0 go to the 1st character on the line
[[ do the "[[" mapping defined above
% go to the matching/closing "}"
/{<cr> search for the next "{"

k go up one line
$ go to the end of that line
][ do the "][" mapping defined above
% go to the matching/opening "{"
?}<cr> search backwards for the previous "}"

Hope that sheds a little light on how those break down.

[1] this may get thrown off by a "{" in string-literals

[2] it will stop at the outermost unmatched "{", so "99" is just
a big number. If for some obscene reason, you have more than 99
nested "{...} blocks, you should (a) increase the 99 to something
bigger, or more importantly (b) refactor your code :)
