[java] System.out.println() shortcut on Intellij IDEA

I know I can print System.out.println() with "sout" + tab. Is there a way I can do it with "Syso" + ctrl + space like in eclipse?

This question is related to java intellij-idea

The answer is


If you want to know all the shortcut in intellij hit Ctrl + J. This shows all the shortcuts. For System.out.println() type sout and press Tab.


If using scala, try priv + tab


In Idea 17eap:

sout: Prints

System.out.println();

soutm: Prints current class and method names to System.out

System.out.println("$CLASS_NAME$.$METHOD_NAME$");

soutp: Prints method parameter names and values to System.out

System.out.println($FORMAT$);

soutv: Prints a value to System.out

System.out.println("$EXPR_COPY$ = " + $EXPR$);

On MAC you can do sout + return or ?+j (cmd+j) opens live template suggestions, enter sout to choose System.out.println();


Open up Settings (By default is Alt + Ctrl + S) and search for Live Templates. In the upper part there's an option that says "By default expand with TAB" (TAB is the default), choose "Custom" and then hit "change" and add the keymap "ctrl+spacebar" to the option "Expand Live Template/Emmet Abbreviation".

Now you can hit ctrl + spacebar and expand the live templates. Now, to change it to "syso" instead of "sout", in the Live Templates option, theres a list of tons of options checked, go to "other" and expand it, there you wil find "sout", just rename it to "syso" and hit aply.

Hope this can help you.


Yeah, you can do it. Just open Settings -> Live Templates. Create new one with syso as abbreviation and System.out.println($END$); as Template text.
