How to auto-generate comment using custom shortcut in IntelliJ?
I'm trying create a custom shortcut in IntelliJ to generate some predefined comments.
For example, if I write //-- and press enter, it should auto-generate:
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------//
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------//
The Postfix Completetion feature looks like it could be used for this but I didn't figure out how to set it up for this scenario. Can someone help?
If Postfix Completetion is not the answer, can I do it with another feature?
Solution
You can create a Live Template (Preferences | Editor | Live Templates). For example, a template like the following:
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------//
$END$
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------//
The $END$ indicates where the text cursor will be placed when the Live Template text is inserted. At the bottom of the Live Template settings screen you can configure in which languages/contexts the Live Template should be available.
