How to remove surrounding code block in IntelliJ IDEA?

In IntelliJ IDEA, is there shortcut to remove surrounding code block (control structure) around selection in a context aware manner? In this example, I would like to remove the outer if block.

Transform this

if (foo) { // Unnecessary if block

  a();

  if (bar) {
    b();
  } else {
    c();
  }
} else {
  d();
}

to this

a();

if (bar) {
  b();
} else {
  c();
}

Use the Code | Unwrap/Remove action (Cmd+Shift+Delete on Mac or Ctrl+Shift+Delete on Windows). It will popup a list where you can select which surrounding structure you want to remove.
