Alternative key combination for jumping to the end of a line to enter a semicolon


Due to automatic code completion, I regularly find myself in between parentheses, having to get to the end of a line to add the inevitable semicolon.

Then I have to get my right hand up, move it to the right, hit End, and come back to the main part of the keyboard again to enter the semicolon.

I perceive this as disturbing to my flow of typing, especially when writing on a notebook, as then those moves of my hand are very inefficient.

Is there already a key combination for reaching the end of a line, or adding a semicolon, within the main keyboard area? Or is it possible to configure PhpStorm in those regards?

(I'm using PhpStorm, but I added the IntelliJ IDEA tag to this question as I guess they would be similar regarding those basic features.)

Solution

  • You can assign any keyboard shortcut to the Move Caret to Line End action in Settings | Keymap.
