Sysout shortcut key not working even after setting the template


I added the sysout in the Eclipse template, context as Java statements and Pattern as System.out.println(${word_selection}${});${cursor} but still when I try typing "sysout" and press Ctrl + Space, it says "No default proposal".

Please help me how to figure this out, I am using MyEclipse version -8.6


Solution

  • You shouldn't need to add the template as it should already be there under Java->Editor->Templates. Ensure that you have ticked the checkbox at the beginning of the template definition. Also make sure that you're pressing Ctrl+Space with the text cursor positioned immediately after the "t" in "sysout". This works for me.
