Auto New Line When Typing {

Muhammad Adam Firdaus

I want to make auto complete settings like this:

.class-css {
automatically add new line before closing tag
so I can write here without try to enter or tab again.
}

or

function () {
automatically push “}” to bottom with one auto indent.
}

Thanks for your suggestions.

I use PhraseExpress (a Text Expander) for such and even more effortful auto complete settings.
This works very well.
For the free test version see here:

For example: This PhraseExpress phrase

.class-css{#asc 123}{#asc 13}{#TAB}{#asc 13}{#asc 125}{#left -count 2}

causes this output:

.class-css{
–> _
}

_ = cursor position
–> = TAB (The Forumsoftware cannot represent this)

You can simply enable auto completion. Settings > Preferences > Auto-completion and make sure { is checkmarked.

@dail I have tried this step, but this setting wouldn’t make closing “}” to bottom as desired.
I’d like to make closing “}” to bottom automatically like I mentioned above:

.class-css {
|
}

so:

.class-css {
I begin write here;
}

or

function() {
|
}

So I’d wrote:

function() {
if(blablabla)
}

Any suggestions as simply as notepad++?

If I type

.class-css {|

It automatically becomes

.class-css {|}

And then I press enter:

.class-css {
    |
}

Is this not what you are wanting?

@dail almost!

But, I’ve found that setting when we type “{”, it’s automatically create closing “}” with one tab indent or without we press ENTER.
Unfortunately, I forgot that settings.
