1,844 PointsCurly braces to open up a scope
I always look for easy way to do things. In the video when Craig, opens up a new scope with curly braces {} it seems that the ending curly brace automatically lines up with the first character of the first line. Is there an easy way to make that happen without backspacing or arrowing over? Sorry let me know if I'm not asking this question clearly enough. Thanks
