*Live Templates* are customizable rules that allow developers to abbreviate repetitive text patterns or surround code fragments with repetitive constructs in the editor.
When a user types the designated abbreviation followed by a configurable *expansion key* (usually `Tab`), the IDE transforms the preceding input sequence to its full-length output, and update the cursor position.
When a user types the designated abbreviation followed by a configurable *expansion key* (usually <shortcut>Tab</shortcut>), the IDE transforms the preceding input sequence to its full-length output, and update the cursor position.
For example, consider a `for` loop.
For example, consider a Java `for` loop.
Typically, the end user would need to type `for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {<Enter><Tab><Enter><Enter>}<Up>`.

Another use-case for live templates is surrounding the selected code with additional constructs.
When a user selects a code fragment and invokes the <ui-path>Code | Surround With...</ui-path> action and chooses the template from the list, the code is wrapped with the content defined in the template.
Consider the following Java method with the selected fragment:
