The Reformat code does nothing in InteliJ IDEA. Nor do any of the neat tricks Craig showed us in the Local Development Environment section. Is there a key or option I need to engage?

To reformat code for the current file, follow these steps:
In the editor of the currently opened file, press Ctrl+Shift+Alt+L. Note that if you select Code 1) Reformat Code from the main menu or press Ctrl+Alt+L, IntelliJ IDEA will try to reformat the source code automatically without opening the Reformat File dialog. 2) In the Reformat File dialog, specify options for the reformatting and click Run.
