Description carentrica 2008-06-21 08:04:59 UTC 
If I have a series of statements, thus...

    statement1;
    statement2;
    statement3;
    statement4;

... and I decide that I need to add, for instance a condition (if {} block) for statement2 & statement3, I get...

    statement1;
    if (some condition) {
    statement2;
    statement3;
    }
    statement4;

in which case I have to manually indent the two newly enclosed statements to preserve formatting.

I would like the editor to do this automatically when the closing brace is added, as many other IDEs and code editors 
do.
This feature could also be configurable (on/off - default on).
