Move closing brace automatically to end of block

Following example:


object X extends App {
  def f() =
    if (true)
      1
    else
      0
}


Inserting an opening brace in the function header of f either inserts the closing brace immediately at the same position or in the next line when enter is pressed. Both cases are not useful because they produce a compilation error. In this case the only real point where it makes sense to introduce the closing brace is after the if-expression.

Since this example is indented properly the IDE should not have a problem in recognizing the end of a function even without semantic analysis. Therefore it should insert the closing brace at the correct position.

Add auto edit that adds closing curly brace to end of block

I can't say how I like this feature. It is just a heuristic because
we can't really parse the document in order to find the end of an
expression but it should work fine in most cases nevertheless.
