Given the following code: If I have "Control flow statement without braces" inspection turned on, I will see warnings on the if and else blocks: 'if' without braces 'elsel without braces I can use ALT+ENTER on both if and else to add braces or I can hit ALT+ENTER once on one of them and then RIGHT_ARROW and ENTER on 'Fix all 'Control flow statement without braces' problems. Either way I end up with: The problem is that IDEA is not using the settings for 'Place on New Line'. (See screenshot). I have "else" on new line disabled, so I would expected the Quickfix to put the else after the closing brace. Here is what I get if I reformat the code either before or after I made the quickfixes. (Reformat also inserts braces automatically.) The reason it is important to fix this QuickFix is that in a team environment, we try not to Reformat the entire file. So, that isn't a good workaround. It would be much better if the quickfix could produce could which matches what the reformat would have done.
