Hey there, I was thinking that it'd be really great if, when we're working on a CSS class and we type a curly-brace and hit enter, Workspaces would indent and put a closing curly-brace on the next line. Right now you need to do the whole process: Open curly, enter, enter, close curly, up, indent. With this it would be much less tedious.
Any takers?

I'm going to guess that the only reason that they wouldn't include this is so that we can get more practice while we learn.
Something being tedious isn't necessarily a bad thing when you are learning.

10,849 PointsI guess you're right, and a workaround for the "you should learn it before it automates things for you" would be to have the auto-indent turned off by default, and after the student learns and practices proper formatting, they'd be able to turn on more automatic formatting. Sound good?
