List of Kotlin live templates
Use live templates to insert common constructs into your code, such as loops, conditions, declarations, or print statements.
To expand a code snippet, type the corresponding template abbreviation and press ⇥. Keep pressing ⇥ to jump from one variable in the template to the next one. Press ⇧ ⇥ to move to the previous variable.
This table summarizes the live templates that you can use with your Kotlin code.
