Another nice feature that will save on time and re-indenting your code is the Surrounds with snippets. It works the same way as Code Snippets but the difference is that you highlight a section of code that you want to surround your code with.
This example I am going to surround a section of my code with a try catch. The keyboard short cut is Ctrl + K and the S.
A popup combo box will appear asking you what type. You can selec the you want to surround with. Since I am going to use a try catch, I can hit the “T” key and then hit enter.
My code is now surrounded by a try/catch with the Exception object available for me to assign a variable to.
