#14 Syntax Formating (GildHelp,Mac)

[Anonymous]

Hello,

My keyboard is completely DEAD when I try to place an
"opening" Curly Brace on the new-line following a
Header (method, class, or even a loop); the editor is
trying to FORCE me to use the format style of placing
the Curly Brace at the end of the header on the same
line, rather than at the beginning of the newline:

I wish this:
for(int a = 0; a < 5; a++)
{

It is trying to force me to do this:
for(int a = 0; a < 5; a++){

Nor will it allow me to move the Curly Brace to the
beginning of the newline by using the Return Key---once
again the keyboard is DEAD to that maneuver.

It WILL however allow me to enter ANY OTHER character
on the newline, and then REPLACE that character with a
Curly Brace after highlighting, but what an
inconvenience. Am I simply supposed to learn to use the
STYLE of placing Curly Brace at the end of the header,
instead of on the newline?

I have found several different preference menus, but
none of them seem to involve the restriction on the
curly brace. Where is it? I'm on a Mac (OSX 10.3.7.)
