For example, the end keyword should be added as soon as you press the enter key in the start keyword line.
should result in: The same for all the other commands:
While...Wend
Repeat...Until
For...Next
Procedure...EndProcedure
Module...EndModule
and so on

Edit:
My feature request as a animated gif image:
(Wait until the gif image is loaded)

After ";seconds" I press the enter key.

Now, that would be nice.

In the Preferences of the IDE, under "Editor" > "Autocomplete", there is already this option:

[ ] Add matching 'End' keyword if insert is pressed twice

According to the explanation in the manual, we should not press [Insert] but [Tab] or [Enter] for this purpose.

Add matching ‘End' keyword if Tab/Enter is pressed twice
If you press Tab or Enter twice, it will insert the corresponding end keyword (for example "EndSelect" to "Select" or "EndIf " to "If") to the keyword you have just inserted. The end keyword will be inserted after the cursor, so you can continue typing after the first keyword that was inserted.

However, this feature seems not to work here (PB 5.61 x64 on Windows 10).

BTW: Why twice? Pressing [Enter] once should be enough, no?

I not agree. This feature works. the first TAB to set the word from autocompletepopup and the second TAB to write the "end" keyword.
But the text in the preferences window of the ide says not TAB/Enter it says "insert", so the manual have to be updated to "the inserting key" or similiar...

Thank you for the information!
Well, this is not how I expected it to work.

I don't use autocompletion e.g. when I write If. I type If manuallly, and then press [Enter] once or twice, and EndIf is not inserted automatically. So autocompletion of the "opening" keyword and autocompletion of the "closing" keywored should be handled independent from each other, IMHO.

I use this feature all the time, however, I think that, Sicro was requesting that this feature works even if code is added after the keyword.

My first thought was that this was subtly different. Hmm... not so sure now.

You can 'kinda' do this with my IDE Tool. Type If and press Shift+Return...

@all
I added an animated GIF image to my first post that hopefully will make my request clearer.

@Little John
I know that such a similar function is already integrated in the IDE. But it's ugly when I write "If" and after pressing the TAB key twice, the "EndIf" hangs behind the text cursor as long as I keep writing.

@chi
Nice IDE tool. Unfortunately, it doesn't support Linux and autocomplete only if nothing is written after the "If".

@Sicro:
I absolutely agree with you. I didn't make that clear previously, sorry!
What you are demonstrating above is exactly the way how I am writing code.
I would appreciate this suggested feature very much!
