Surround a code block with language constructs

GoLand provides standard templates for surrounding code fragments with various constructs based on the language of the source code. This includes if...else conditional statements, for loops, folding regions, and other constructs.

  1. Select a code fragment.

  2. Press CtrlAlt0T or go to Code | Surround With in the main menu.

  3. Select the necessary surround statement from the list. When you hover over an option, you will see a preview of the change that will be applied if you select that statement.

Preview for surround with options

You can edit code templates that are used in the surround statements. In the Settings dialog (CtrlAlt0S) , go to Editor | File and Code Templates.

Code template settings

note

If live templates contain the $SELECTION$ variable, they can be used as surround statements.

To create your own surround statement, create a live template and use the $SELECTION$ variable in the template text.
