How can I setup webstorm to automatically add semi-colons to javascript functions, methods, etc

When I write Javascript, I use semi-colons. However when I write in webstorm/phpstorm, it auto completes braces and brackets, but doesn't auto-add a semicolon. I know that isn't required per the standards, etc., but that's the way that I code - and I'm not alone, many people code this way.

Example:

var data = $.ajax({});

Normally, webstorm/phpstorm will do this, and leave the cursor inside the curly braces:

var data = $.ajax({})

All in the world that I want is to not have to add the semicolon manually and have it just auto-complete as I noted in my first example.

There is no way to insert it automatically, you need to use the Complete Statement action (Ctrl+Shift+Enter).

You can make a macro and keyboard shortcut:

Record Auto semicolon macro and bind shortcut to it:
1. Edit -> Macros -> Start Macro Recording
2. In the editor go to the end of line by pressing End
3. put semicolon ';'
4. Edit -> Macros -> Stop Macro Recording
5. Give a name, for example 'Auto semicolon'
6. Open settings (Ctrl + Alt + s), select Keymap
7. Expand Macros node
8. Select 'Auto semicolon', in the context menu choose Add Keyboard Shortcut
9. Set Ctrl + ; as First keystroke
10. Save/Apply settings
11. Enjoy!
12. Try it out, in the middle of code line, hit Ctrl + ;
 
// some useful combinations:
Ctrl + ,    put colon at the end of line
Ctrl + ;    put semicolon at the end of line
Ctrl + .    put => at the end of line

Would be a lot cooler if there was an option to do it automatically though...
