IntelliJ and the semi-colon character

Question

I'm finally making the voyage back to IntelliJ via Eclipse. Currently my Eclipse is set up so that if I currently have a statement such as this (where ^ denotes where my cursor currently sits):

foo.bar("hello"^)

and I hit the semi-colon (;) key, it will automatically put the semi-colon at the end of the statement:

foo.bar("hello");

Currently IntelliJ does this:

foo.bar("hello";)

Meaning I will have to explicitly type the closing bracket before typing the semi-colon.

Not a huge problem obviously but I have found myself putting the semi-colon in the wrong place a few times today as I make the transition back to IntelliJ and thought that it may be more efficient (for both my fingers and brain) not to have to type the closing bracket.

Answer 1

Try Ctrl+Shift+Enter. That finishes the statement you're currently writing. Try it in a few different situations, like in if statements, for loops etc, and you'll see that it'll complete the line and open some curly braces for you if necessary.
