IntelliJ IDEA provides standard templates for surrounding code fragments with various constructs based on the language of the source code. This includes if...else conditional statements, do...while and for loops, combinations of try...catch...finally, XML tags, folding regions, and other constructs.
Surround a code block with language constructs
Select a code fragment.
Press CtrlAlt0T or go to Code | Surround With in the main menu.
Alternatively, on the toolbar that appears, click Surround.
Select the necessary surround statement from the list.
You can edit code templates that are used in the surround statements. In the Settings dialog (CtrlAlt0S) , go to Editor | File and Code Templates.
For example, you can configure final modifier, name or even a type of the exception for the try...catch conditional statement.
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.
