PHPStorm - create variable of selected text

I remember It's possible to create variable from selected text in storm, but I cant find how to do this.

If I have code like this:

$a = new SomeClass(new A(), new B());

...and I select text 

new B()

PHPStorm should change this code to:

$newVawiable = new B();
$a = new SomeClass(new A(), $newVariable);

I remember It's possible, but I don't remember how.

Solution

  • Refactor | Extract | Variable...
