Description Randy Hudson CLA 2002-10-07 14:12:51 EDT 
I find it annoying when I have to type
"gc.drawRect"<<CODEASSIST>>angle("getBou"<<CODEASSIST>>nds()<<CARET>>)

So, I've invoked code assist twice, and my caret is now between the last 2 
closing parenthesis.  Now I have to type a semicolon, but first I must always 
press the END key.  I do this like 100 times per/day.  It would be great if 
SEMICOLON caused the caret to move to the end of the current line automatically.

I think it's hard to detect when you don't want to insert a semicolon where you 
are. Any strategies?

Other than for and while loops, aren't semi-colons most often right before line 
delimeters?
