How to move out of auto-completed brackets in IntelliJ IDEA (without using the arrow keys)?

Question

I recently switched from Eclipse to IntelliJ IDEA, and found myself wondering how to move the cursor out of a pair of auto-completed brackets.

In Eclipse after I fin

Answer 1

Not currently supported by Intellij. There is an open feature request on this at http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-74666. Extra votes would be nice.

Answer 2

I set these setting:

1) I added Semicolon shortcut to Complete Current Statement:

Instead of using for loop command, I using fori command (because for command needs semicolon character):

2) I added Alt+Semicolon shortcut to Move Caret to Code Block End:

So when I inside the loop, by pressing Alt+Semicolon jumping end of the bracket, by pressing Semicolon I jumping out the bracket subsequently.

by adding these shortcuts, the speed of coding will be faster.

Answer 3

I went to preferences->Keymap and set a shortcut for "Move Caret to Line End" to Shift-Space. It takes me to the end of the current line I am on without adding anything, if that's what you want.

Answer 4

You can do this by pressing the closing symbol that you would've pressed otherwise, but was auto completed. For example, if you have just typed the f below, you would press shift and 0 (or closing parenthesis), and it will move your cursor outside of the parenthesis.

String asdf = "hello world";
System.out.println(asdf);

Answer 5

Ctrl + Shift + Enter does not seem to work for me in IDEA 12.1.4, but I found the closest feature to what I was looking for was Shift + Enter. This completes the line, creates a new line below the current line and moves the cursor to it.

Answer 6

IDEA doesn't have such feature yet. The closest equivalent is the Complete Current Statement editor action (Ctrl+Shift+Enter).

UPDATE

Initial implementation for this feature is available in 2018.2 EAP version - press Tab to jump out.

It works more like in MS Visual Studio - without visual indication of tab 'exit' position. For now, it should work in Java, SQL, Python and some other files. It will take some time for other languages to catch up - some language-specific code changes are required.

The feature is disabled by default, you can enable it in

Settings -> Editor -> General -> Smart Keys -> Jump outside closing bracket/quote with Tab
