Surround Code Fragments with Language-Specific Constructs

RubyMine provides standard templates for surrounding code fragments with various constructs based on the language of the source code. This includes if...else conditional statements, do...while and for loops, combintations of try...catch...finally, folding regions, XML tags, and so on.

To surround a block of code:

Select the desired code fragment.
On the Code menu, click Surround With (Ctrl+Alt+T).
Select the necessary surround statement from the list.

This feature applies to the following languages (contexts):

Context	Surround with	Example
Ruby statements	`(...)` `BEGIN{}` `END{}` `if...then...end` `while...do...end` `unless...then...end` `begin...end`
XML/HTML /RHTML tags	Tag CDATA section <% ... %> Emmet
JavaScript statements	`(expr)` `!(expr)` `if` `if / else` `while` `do / while` `for` `try / catch` `try / finally` `try / catch / finally` `with` `function` `{ }` `function expression`
Custom folding region comments	Any fragment of code, where Surround With is applicable
