How to wrap selected code with user defined text before and after the selection


In eclipse, I'd like to select a section of code with my mouse and then hit some sort of keyboard shortcut that causes the selection to be surrounded like so:

// [region]
public void someFunction() {
    ...
}
// [endregion]

Where the code is surrounded by the (user defined) comment lines "// [region]" and "// [endregion]" How would I do this? In netbeans, you can do something similar as referenced here: http://wiki.netbeans.org/SurroundWithCodeFolding


Solution

  • Yes you can cover a single or block of statements with if, do, for, while etc etc.

    Select a single or block of statements then press Alt + Shift + Z

    You will see the below popup. Choose the appropriate option. Hit Enter

    But you asking to cover a set of statements with method, for this you have to refractor the code.

    Select a single or block of statements then press Shift + Alt + M

    Then a dialog will appear, fill up the details and click on OK button.
