New in 11: Javadoc editing improvements
Recently I realized that javadoc editing may be easily improved by introducing some handy little features. After using them for a couple of days, I can say they are cool, so, it’s time to share them with you. And you can try them all in the latest IntelliJ IDEA 11 EAP.
The main idea is to ease fulfilling method javadoc stubs that IntelliJ IDEA generates for you:
- Smart “End”
Pressing End when the caret is located after javadoc parameter name relocates it to the position where description should start. It respects ‘Align parameters description’ code style setting as well (‘Code Style | Javadoc | Alignment’).

After:
- Smart “Enter”
We rather often need to write a multi-line javadoc parameter description. Now pressing Enter preserves previous line indent if a corresponding option is enabled (‘Editor | Smart Keys | Enter | Smart indent’).

After:
- Smart complete statement
Corresponding support is added for smart complete statement (Ctrl+Shift+Enter by default).
