Answer 1

File -> Settings -> Editor -> Code style -> Java -> Wrapping and braces -> if/while/for() statement -> Force braces -> Always

Answer 2

Under File > Settings > Editor > Code Style > Java on the tab "Wrapping and Braces" under "'if()' statement", set "Force braces" to "Always". And the same for "'for()' statement", "'while()' statement" and "'do ... while' statement".

When you reformat (Ctrl+Alt+L), or complete the statement using Ctrl+Shift+Enter, IntelliJ will add the braces for you.

Answer 3

For thoses (like me) who struggle finding this option in Rider, it is located just right here : Editor > Code Style > C# > Syntax Style > Braces See image, then you have to select "Enforce Always".

I believe the question is about IntelliJ IDEA and not about Rider. – Rummage

Thanks @Abra, I know, but when I was looking for a solution for Rider, I came across this question. Maybe my comment could help others like me. I would have been grateful to find this. – Destiny
