Place comma

Move a comma (,) to the beginning (To begin) or to the end (To end) of a code line.

The Auto option analyzes the surrounding context and calculates the most suitable place for a comma. For example, you have three occurrences of a comma: two commas go at the beginning, one comma is at the end. The Auto option will move the third occurrence of the comma to the beginning. This option works only if you have more than three cases in a single context. Otherwise, commas are left as is.

The In the middle option joins two lines of code on one line.

If you want to disable a new line after the comma when the To begin option is enabled, clear the Line breaks checkbox on the Wrapping tab.

Put spaces within parentheses

Add a space after the opening parenthesis and before the closing parenthesis.
