+10! I've been hoping IDEA would do this for quite some time. This isn't only good for pasting in poorly formatted code, but is also great when simply copy and pasting a piece of your own code... that when pasted is not indented properly. **Think about it guys**... doesn't that happen about 80% of the time you paste? That you need to delete a few tabs or add a few tabs... or think carefuly before pasting about where the insertion point is first... and then afterwards indent/unindent the whole series of lines? Isn't that annoying? At a minimum, the proper *indentation* is all I desire to be automatically corrected. To go a little beyond this... IDEA could detect if an entire class member was pasted in and then make sure that the proper number of spaces surround it. Upon cuting, the inverse could happen by making sure the proper number of blank lines are in the spot where it was copied. I'm always having to adjust the number of blank lines after a cut-paste. Full formatting too is okay but not as important as indentation. This feature would be sooo click yet not hard to implement, I figure. I propose that pasting automatically adjust the indentation & surrounding spacing and then if some special key is held down then format the piece of code too.
