This is a feature I saw years ago in an old DOS-Editor and liked a lot.
Basicly, it is a shortcut for <end><return>, which comes in handy, if you
are in the middle of a line and want to start a new one. The DOS-Editor used
ctrl-return, which is already used in IDEA, but shift-return or alt-return
are not in use yet.
Here is an example, where this feature would come in handy:
Type the following line:
System.out.printl
now hit ctrl-space, the line will be completed to:
System.out.println();
where the cursor will be between the brackets. Now type
"hello world
and the line will look like this:
System.out.println("hello world");
with the cursor behind the "d" of world.
Now you'll probably like to start a new line, but return will split the
current line. Best you can do is to hit <end> and than <return>. The
proposed feature would insert a new line below and move the cursor there
without splitting the line.
Besides: Note that ctrl-space generated a ";" at the end of the line in the
example above.
Typing
Integer.parseI
and hitting ctrl-space generates
Integer.parseInt()
without a ";". Why is this? Because parseInt has a return value? Would make
some sense. In this case, the proposed feature could add the ";"
automatically ;-)
