About curly brace auto-completion

(1/2) > >>

There is currently a feature about curly brace auto-completion.
When I enter a { on a single line, it will automatically add an empty line and a } on the thrid line.
This feature is great. But why not extend it a little more?
For java style, the { is in the end of a line. When I enter { in the end of line, the close brace } is automatically added. Why not test if a Enter follows, it will add a new empty line between { and }, and point the caret to that line.

Currently, if I don't close the brace-completion, it will takes me many extra keys to write the codes in java style.

If you'd like to roll-your-own (language independent) syntax in CodeBlocks, you might fine cbKeyMacs useful.

It allows you to define any sequence of keys, then paste them in via hotkey or mouse.

You can also try to use abbreviations  ("Settings -> Editor... -> Abbreviations").

Thx. This tool is great. But if it can invoke the macro by context or a regular expression rule, it may be more helpful.

Yeah. But it requires much extra keys to do my jobs. My main concern is to reduce redundant keys.
