How to add shortcut keys for java code in eclipse

Say I type "sout", the intellisense should expan开发者_如何学Cd it to "System.out.println()". Is there a way to adding such templates?

The feature is called "code templates" in Eclipse. You can add templates with:

Window->Preferences->Java->Editor->Templates.

Two good articles:

• Don't write the code, generate it
• Custom Templates

System.out.println() is already mapped to sysout, so you may save time by learning a few of the existing templates first.

Type "Sysout" and then Ctrl+Space. It expands to

System.out.println();

Type syso and ctrl + space for System.out.println()

type "syso" and then press ctrl + space

OR

type "sysout" and then press ctrl + space

This is one more option: go to Windows > Preference > Java > Editor > Content Assit. Look in "Auto Activation" zone, sure that "Enable auto activation" is checked and add more charactor (like "abcd....yz, default is ".") to auto show content assist menu as your typing.

I've been Eclipse-free for over a year now, but I believe Eclipse calls these "Templates". Look in your settings for them. You invoke a template by typing its abbreviation and pressing the normal code completion hotkey (ctrl+space by default) or using the Tab key. The standard eclipse shortcut for System.out.println() is "sysout", so "sysout" would do what you want.

Here's another stackoverflow question that has some more details about it: How to use the "sysout" snippet in Eclipse with selected text?

Step 1 -> Top apple icon -> System preference -> keyboard -> Shortcut>spotlight -> uncheck. Step 2 ->Eclipse -> General -> keys -> search -> content Assist -> Binding (cmd button + space) -> Apply&close.
