Java – How to add semicolon after method call when inside parameter list in IntelliJ IDEA

intellij-ideajava

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.

For Windows or Linux users, Ctrl+Shift+Enter.

For macOS/OS X users, ⌘ Command+⇧ 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.

Kotlin

    Handler(Looper.getMainLooper()).postDelayed({
      //Do something after 100ms
    }, 100)

Java

    final Handler handler = new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper());
    handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
      @Override
      public void run() {
        //Do something after 100ms
      }
    }, 100);
