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 Tab to jump from one variable in the template to the next one. Press Shift Tab to move to the previous variable.
This table summarizes the live templates that you can use with your Kotlin code.
