Reformat File dialog
Ctrl+Alt+Shift+L
The dialog appears when you press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+L in the editor of the current file. If you choose from the main menu or press Ctrl+Alt+L, CLion tries to reformat the source code of the specified scope automatically.
For more details on how to reformat, or exclude files from formatting, refer to Code formatting.

| Whole file | Choose this option to have all the source code in the current file reformatted. |
| Optimize imports | Select this checkbox to remove unused import statements from the code within the selected scope. |
