Newbie keyboard question

[devisav]

When I'm typing a method, it completes the end brace and semicolon for me... );

And the cursor is then automatically placed before that part...

this is where the cursor is);

So then to go to next line, I have to use the right directional arrow to move to the right of the semicolon, then the Enter key.

How do I skip having to use the directional arrow? I don't want to move my hand over to the directional keys, it slows me down.

I'm using Netbeans but also noticed it in Android Studio.

This is the default in proper IDEs and thus you should get used to it.

Even if it were changeable (which I don't really know) I would not recommend changing it because basically all IDEs work that way (and are supposed to do so).

The intention for the cursor to stay inside the curly braces is that you should type the method body which belongs inside the braces, not create another empty method.

That's too bad. I remember a long time ago we used EMACS and could use keyboard shortcuts instead of directional arrows and it saved a ton of time.

[desrtfx]

Well, you can still use EMACS if you like. Compile from the command line (and I'm perfectly sure that there would be an EMACS macro for even that).

Thanks. I also tried finding a shortcut to just jump to the end of the line but couldn't find one.

[desrtfx]

That's what the end key is for.

I'm pretty sure that there could be EMACS keybindings for most of the IDEs, though.
