Smart Keys

Home moves caret to first non-whitespace character

When this checkbox is selected, on pressing Home, the caret is positioned at the first non-whitespace character of the current line. Pressing Home subsequently moves the caret from the Smart Home position to the first column and back.

End on blank line moves caret to indent position

When this checkbox is selected, on pressing End in an empty line, the caret is positioned with the indent, which DataGrip assumes to be reasonable in the current code point (indentation is based on the current Code Style Settings).

Insert pair brackets (), [], {}, <>

Select this checkbox to have DataGrip automatically add a closing bracket for each typed opening bracket, respectively.

Insert pair quote

Select this checkbox to have DataGrip automatically add a closing single or double quote for each typed opening single or double quote, respectively.

Reformat block on typing '}'

If this checkbox is selected, then, on typing the closing curly brace, the enclosed code block is reformatted automatically, if the formatting of this code block does not match the selected code style.

Use "CamelHumps" words

Select this checkbox to have DataGrip discern separate words within CamelHump names. Words within a name should start with a capital letter or an underscore. This option impacts some editor actions, for example:

• Caret Move Control+ArrowRight/Control+ArrowLeft

• Caret Move with Selection (Control+Shift+ArrowRight/Control+Shift+ArrowLeft)

• Select Word at Caret Control+W

• Delete to Word Start/End (Control+Backspace and Control+Delete respectively)

• Double-clicking (if Honor "CamelHumps" word settings when selecting using double click is enabled).

Honor "CamelHumps" words settings when selecting on double click

Select this checkbox to have DataGrip invoke the CamelHumps selection when words are selected by double-clicking.

This feature works only if the Use 'CamelHumps' words option is enabled.

Surround selection on typing quote or brace

If this checkbox is selected, the selected text on typing a quote, double-quote or brace, will be surrounded with these characters. If this checkbox is not selected, then the typed quotes, double-quotes or braces will replace the selection.

Add multiple carets on double Control with arrow keys

If this checkbox is selected, then:

• pressing Control plus up/down arrow keys leads to creating multiple carets.

• pressing Control plus left/right arrow keys or Home/End leads to creating a selection.

For more information, see the Multicursor section.

Jump outside closing bracket/quote with Tab when typing

If this checkbox is selected, pressing Tab when typing inside brackets/quotes will move the caret outside the closing bracket/quote. If this checkbox is not selected, pressing Tab will insert the Tab character.

Note that this only works on initial typing: during subsequent editing, pressing Tab inside brackets/quotes will insert the Tab character.

Enter

Use this area to define the actions to be invoked by pressing Enter.

• Smart indent: select this checkbox to have DataGrip add a new line and position the caret at it, with the indent that DataGrip assumes to be reasonable in the current point of code (indentation is based on the current Code Style settings).

  If the checkbox is cleared, upon pressing Enter in a blank line, DataGrip adds a new line and positions the caret at the current non-space character column.

• Insert pair '}': select this checkbox to have DataGrip automatically position a closing brace } at the proper column when Enter is pressed in an empty line. In this case DataGrip seeks backward for the nearest unclosed opening brace { and places the closing one at the corresponding indentation level.

• Close block comment: unselect this checkbox to disable the automatic closure of the block comment when hitting Enter.

Unindent on Backspace

Use this list to define the actions to be invoked by pressing Backspace key. The available options are:

• Disabled: pressing Backspace returns the caret by one position at a time.

• To nearest indent position

• To proper indent position

Reformat on paste

Use this list to specify how to place pasted code blocks. The available options are:

• None: the pasted code is inserted at the caret location as plain text without any reformatting or indenting.

• Indent block: the pasted code block is positioned at the proper indentation level, according to the current Code Style Settings, but its inner structure is not changed.

• Indent each line: each line of the pasted code block is positioned at the proper indentation level, according to the current Code Style Settings.

• Reformat block: the pasted code block is reformatted according to the current Code Style Settings.
