While RSTA currently has a decent auto-indentation engine that knows to indent when going to a line after an opening curly brace '{', it would be nice to also be able to automatically insert the closing curly brace '}'.
The gotcha is that you can't simply insert it each time they press Enter and the last token on the line is '{', as then they would get an extra '}' each time they did so. Eclipse seems to "just know" when to add the closing brace or whether it's already been inserted - I imagine it's parsed your source and knows the curly braces up to that point all match up.
We could set a flag when '{' is typed, and only insert the closing brace if '{' is immediately followed by Enter (no key presses in between). This might be a fair solution that works in almost all daliy use.
Or maybe this isn't a big deal at all. Maybe we should always insert a closing brace on Enter after a '{'. If a user goes up and presses Enter over and over, it's their own fault for getting too many curly braces...
Opinions are welcome!
