Editor abbreviations


To simplify editing of files, a set of customizable abbreviations is built into the Editor, which can be used to expand a few pre-defined characters into a full word or a phrase. Defining abbreviations is especially useful for long and frequently-used Java keywords. For example, if you type pu and press SPACE, the text will be expanded to public. To enter characters without expansion, type SHIFT+SPACE - this enters a space without checking for abbreviations. See Default Editor Abbreviations for a complete list. See Customizing Editor abbreviations for information on changing abbreviations and setting your own.
