klipse freezes far too easily

When you're editing code it's good practice to keep it syntactically correct as much as possible.
Certain editors make it difficult; for example "Intellisense" is really dumb about this grabbing various keys and generally behaving like a headless chicken.

OTOH, various editors try to be helpful, inserting the closing structure automatically when you enter the start of a loop or condition. This doesn't always work very well either.

Currently, klipse is probably one of the least helpful I've come across. You basically have to force a syntax error at the top of the code to keep it from crashing and if you (for example) decrement the wrong variable within a loop you lose what you've typed.

The solution is simple in concept; the code should only run until the next keypress ... no more.
