Smart Enter is intended to improve the usability of the Enter key while coding in the editor. If the feature is enabled and the Enter key is pressed, it moves the editor text caret to the next code line (starting it with the same amount of white space on the current line and adding a line statement terminator to the end of the current line if it doesn’t exist (.e.g semi-colon in CSharp) or inside of a code block, leaving the characters to the right of the source caret location at their initial position. It is activated if the character to the right of the current caret position is one of the following:
- ] (closing bracket)
- ) (closing paren)
- > (closing angle bracket)
- ; (semi-colon)
