"Add semicolon and goto new line" hotkey

Question

I'm a beginner in android programing. I use Android Studio (v0.8.9). Here is problem a tackled with:

Ctrl + Shift + Enter adds a semicolon and moves the caret to the end of the line, Shift + Enter does not a add semicolon and moves the caret to a new line. Question is how to make InteliJ IDEA add semicolon to the end of current line and move caret to the new line by pressing, say, Shift + Enter?

Answer 1

Pressing Ctrl + Shift + Enter twice should do the job. You can record a keyboard macro that does it, and assign a custom shortcut to it.

Answer 2

It's 2020 now and Ctrl + Shift + Enter shortcut now works as expected in Android Studio (tested 4.1.1). MacOS version should have a different modifier, but should be almostly same.

Answer 3

Another way to get the IDE to add semicolon If you have code completion enabled you can press tab on your code snippet, then press shift+enter to go to a new line.

For example:
1. type sout and press tab.
2. the editor fills in System.out.println($CursorHere);
3. type "foobar" where the cursor appears.
4. press shift enter and you'll be taken to a new line.

Answer 4

You can customise your shortcuts in preferences - > Keymap

Edit or add new shorts cut is very easy from here.
