IntelliJ Live Templates
Live templates let you insert frequently-used or custom code constructs into your source code file quickly and efficiently
IntelliJ IDEA comes with a set of predefined Live Templates. You can use them as-is, or modify them to suit your needs. If you want to create a new live template, you can do it from scratch, on the basis of the copy of an existing template, or from a fragment of source code. Live templates are stored in the following location:
- Windows:
\.IntelliJ IDEA \config\templates. - Linux: ~IntelliJ IDEA
/config/templates. - OS X: ~/Library/Preferences/IntelliJ IDEA
/templates.
