I have plenty of experience with Eclipse, and now I'm trying out Visual Studio 2010. I find its formatting somewhat counter-intuitive. Here are some things I'm trying to figure out:

  1. Is there a way to select all text and format/indent it properly, like SHIFT+A SHIFT+I in Eclipse?

  2. Why is it that when I type a line like if (n == 0) {, as soon as I type the opening brace, the text cursor is moved to the beginning of the line? Is this some productivity speedup I'm failing to see?

  3. When I hit ENTER after the aforementioned line, I'd like the closing brace to be put in place automatically for me. How can I do this?

I've looked for hotkey documentation, and it's helped a bit, but this still feels clunky to me.
