Is there a way to create a hotkey to print a specific string in PhpStorm

Question

I wanted to bind a string-paste to a specific hotkey, I use console.log a lot and really would help to have it binded on a hotkey.

Answer 1

You can create a Live template in

Preferences | Editor | Live templates

that would expand into a code snippet once you type the selected abbreviation and hit Tab.

For example, I write "cl" and when I press tab it transforms into console.log(|)
