I've always hated that you had to press ENTER after an opening brace to get
it to do the right thing... Kawa did this better (may it rest in well
deserved peace)... the moment you typed the opening brace, it positioned it
properly according to your coding style. So if your style was "opening
braces on the next line", then you could just type this:
if (foo == bar){dosomething();}
And it would look like this:
if (foo == bar)
{
dosomething();
}
It was great... dynamic formatting/layout as you typed. I loved it. And I
miss it. The automatically adding the closing braces/parens is nice, imho,
but it's only the first half of the feature... a partial implementation. I
hope the next version of IDEA goes the rest of the way...
