Auto Indent

I'm trying to understand when Auto Indent kicks in. I created a function like:
function Test()
{
$i=2;
}

After typing the first bracket and pressing the Enter key I expected the next line to indent but it didn't. I checked Preferences and Auto Indent is checked and set to 2.

What am I missing?

I might have it wrong but auto indent seems to wait until you indent first. so if you indented your first line in the function and hit enter, the next line would be auto-indented.

Auto-indent makes the next line be indented like the previous one, it does not analyze or beautify code. This is standard across all code editors.

Now we are currently designing auto-curly-brace-complete and that feature will allow to both generate { and } braces and also indent the caret. But that is completely different feature.

That's the feature I'm wanting! I look forward to it.
