Rubymine shortcut to insert <%= %>

Is there a shortcut for inserting a <%= %> in Rubymine?

I took a look in keymap and didn't see anything.

Solution

  • The default shortcut is Ctrl+Shift+Period on Windows and Cmd+Shift+Period on Mac. It may not work on all the keyboards, in which case you can change it in Settings (Preferences on Mac) | Keymap: Main Menu, Tools, Erb, Insert <%= %>:

    keymap

    You can also use code completion:

    completion

    After accepting this choice you'll get:

    <%= | %>

    Another option is to define a live template:

    live template

    Type re, then Tab to expand.

    Finally, you can define a keyboard shortcut for any text/template using the following trick:

    1. Edit | Macros | Start Macro Recording
    2. Type re, then Tab
    3. Edit | Macros | Stop Macro Recording
    4. Save it under RubyExpression name

    Now go to Keymap settings and assign a shortcut to RubyExpression under Edit, Macros.
