Complete paired characters
IntelliJ IDEA can automatically add closing braces and other paired elements.
Press Ctrl+Alt+S to open settings and then select .
Configure the preferred options (all of them are enabled by default):
Insert paired brackets (), [], {}, <>
Insert pair quote
Insert pair %> on Enter in JSP
Insert pair '}' (in the Enter group). If enabled, IntelliJ IDEA will automatically add a closing brace once you press Enter.
Under the HTML/CSS node:
Insert closing tag on tag completion
Auto-close tag on typing '</'
Auto-insert closing }} and %} in Django templates (available if the Python plugin is installed)
Click OK to apply changes.
The indentation level is defined in the Code Style settings.
