> 1) Text formatting as I type.
In the current version, there is a live template for doing that. Type
if (x) {
and press Tab (or other key depending on the settings). This will expand to
if (a) {
<caret>
}
(or other layout, depending on your code style settings).
In Ariadna, we managed to drop this template by doing this by the Enter key.
> 2) Auto-generation of javadoc comments
Planned for Ariadna.
> 3) Sync project view with current file/class
Alt-F1
>
> 4) Cycling through open files
Alt-Left/Right
Try also other useful shortcuts mentiones by other people.
> 5) Drag and Drop text editing.
Not planned for Ariadna, but perhaps we will implement it in some future.

> A previous IDE had this great feature of taking care of my bracket
indending

> "open brace on same line, next line indended, closing brace on its own
> line", then I would just type "if (x) {" and immediately the cursor would
be
> positioned on the next line, indented. I could then type "break;}" and
the
> "}" would immediately be positioned on the next line, flush with the "if".

view,

> Or maybe an option (easily toggleable) that would always keep the project

> 4) Cycling through open files
>
> MSDev had one of the best interfaces I've come across for moving among
many
> open files. Ctrl-Tab would move to the next file, Shift-Ctrl-Tab would go
> to the previous. If you held down Ctrl (or Shift-Ctrl) while pressing Tab
> repeatedly, you'd cycle through the open files forward and backward. But
> the kicker was if you lifted up Ctrl (or shift-Ctrl), then the file you
> started on became the "next" file. Thus Ctrl-Tab could go to the next
file,
> and then a subsequent Ctrl-Tab would take you right back to where you
were.
> It was very easy to use the "Ctrl-Tab-Tab-Tab..." to move to the file you
> wanted, and then the next Ctrl-Tab would instantly return you to where you
> were, and using these, you could easily change/set the "order" of the
files
> as well. As long as the next version makes it easy to "go back to the
last
> file I was working on", I'll be happy, but I'd love to be able to
reproduce
> the Ctrl-Tab behavior of MSDev, because I'm so used to it from my C++
days.
>
> 5) Drag and Drop text editing.
>
> IDEA makes refactoring really easy, but reorganizing and rearranging code
is
> still a cut & paste pain. I got used to doing lots of reorganizations
using
> drag-and-drop text editing (in concert with ctrl-drag to copy text as
well).
> I'd like to see an option to turn on drag-and-drop text editing, as I
really
> miss it (and I know some people hate it and would want to turn it off).
