Your description is... confusing.
What are you talking about? An IDE? An editor? Focus change between controls?
What "is is supposed to" go? Who?
Do you mean indenting?

Mmm, I should pay more attention to titles, sometime people forget to repeat the information in the body of the message...
So it is about some IDE or editor (in java doesn't exist, Java is a programming language, not an editor) and indeed about proper indenting.

I have a powerful tool for indenting: my editor which keep indentation of the previous line, my fingers which use Tab when needed when I code. Ie. I try and keep tidy code as I write it.
Two tricks in the PDE:
- You can select a block of lines and hit Tab (or Shift-Tab). It indents (and de-indent) it whole. Tab works on a single line, but not Shift-Tab.
- You can go to Tools > Auto format.
It has reported glitches, but it can help in general.
