I believe this would be quite useful. We actually have a couple of Jira 
reports related to that. Just notice that currently our code style 
options mainly concern indentation so it's a new concept there.

In addition, we might have one or two fragmented options that would fit 
into that. For instance, the 'Insert space after function name' from the 
completion tab.

Also, from a design perspective I'd recommend thinking of such a feature 
in a broader sense, since all kinds of code assist we provide like 
function completion or possibly other quick fixes should ideally be able 
to use it.

Cheers,
