The IDEs would format the desired way as soon as you cursored off the line in some cases. This had benefits and drawbacks: it would actually parse the line, so if there was a syntax error, you had to dismiss the dialog and fix it before you could move anywhere. Kind of a pain when you're roughing out code.
Out of modern IDEs for more conventional languages, the one that comes the closest to the behavior I want in this regard is Emacs, which is one reason I've stuck with it lo these 30 years.
