Surround code fragments

RubyMine 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 Ctrl+Alt+T or go to Code | Surround With in the main menu.
Select the necessary surround statement from the list.

This feature applies to the following languages (contexts):

Context	Surround with
Ruby statements	`(...)` `BEGIN{}` `END{}` `if...then...end` `while...do...end` `unless...then...end` `begin...end`
XML/HTML /RHTML tags	Tag CDATA section <% ... %> Emmet
JavaScript statements	`(expr)` `!(expr)` `if` `if / else` `while` `do / while` `for` `try / catch` `try / finally` `try / catch / finally` `with` `function` `{ }` `function expression`
Custom folding region comments	Any fragment of code, where Surround With is applicable.
