What do I want

It is just for comfort but I am searching for a feature in VSCode to insert a semicolon at the end of the current line, while the cursor is still in the middle of the statement. IntelliJ has that Feature. (crtl + shift + enter)

What I have tried so far:

  • Installed and enabled IntelliJ IDEA Keybindings.
    • The problem I have is that crtl + shift + enter does only complete the statment if autocomplete has an suggestion. But there is no suggestion add semicolon at the end of the line.
    • shift+ crtl + enter does start a new line but there is still no semicolon at the end

If I you need more information please let me know...

  • Isn't stackoverflow.com/questions/50703124/… an exact duplicate? It had a poor title so it is difficult to discover, I will edit it soon. Commented Nov 8, 2020 at 4:22
  • @Mark yes it is related. But I didn't find it because it was for webstorm and I searched for Java with IntelliJ. Thats why I was not abel to find it. Commented Nov 9, 2020 at 8:20
  • No worries, it was written oddly so probably only I could have found it. I have edited it some. Commented Nov 9, 2020 at 16:02

Thanks to rioV8 for the help with Multi Command.

I added the following snippet to the settings.json:

"multiCommand.commands": [ { "command": "multiCommand.addNewLine", "sequence": [ "cursorEnd", {"command": "type", "args": {"text": ";\n"}} ] } ]

Than I was able to bind a keybinding to that command in the keybindings.json.
