Delimiter matching options missing in R2024?

I am looking for a way to make parenthetical pairs more clear, as the underscore is not easy to see. I saw a solution online that shows some options to highlight instead of underscore, but it seems to be missing in my version of MATLAB. Was this removed altogether or moved elsewhere in the settings?

I have the same problem too as I was searching for this option online today.. Hopefully we can get some updates to this from the MATLAB team.

I've encountered the same issue as well. In MATLAB R2021a, I used "highlight" as my delimiter matcher, and this option was previously found under Preferences > MATLAB > Keyboard.
After updating to version R2021b, I can no longer find this option. It might have been removed because the blue highlighting could be causing confusion with text selection. I have attached the images of the Preferences > MATLAB > Keyboard panel for both versions.
