I guess what I'm saying is that I'd like to not have to press an "extra key"
(be it tab or enter), since typing the open-brace (outside of a comment, in
a java file) is unambiguous in and of itself.  I guess I'd like an option so
that when I type an open brace, it's properly positioned, and the cursor is
properly positioned for the next character.  Ditto the closing brace.  That
way I don't have to create live templates or anything else, it "just works".
And I also don't have to worry about "stepping over" the closing brace that
a live template inserts... I just type the code as I go.  I guess that's
just what I'm used to.

And as for "Alt-Left/Right", maybe it's just me (or my keyboard), but that's
a real finger-twister, requiring my hands come completely off home row.  I'd
like to map this to Ctrl-Tab/Shift-Ctrl-Tab, but at this time cannot.  Also,
I'm thankful for others mentioning Ctrl-E, which gives me the thing I was
asking for ("go back to the file I was just in"), because Alt-Left/Right
can't do that the way I wish it would.  At the very least, can you make
Ctrl-Tab/Ctrl-Shift-Tab mappable?

Thanks for the information!

> 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.
