How to edit syso or add a custom System.out.println(); in Eclipse?

Question

So I mainly use a Mac with Eclipse and I know there is a shortcut to type System.out.println(); using syso CTRL+Space, but I was wondering if there is any way where I can change or add my own shortcut by just typing something like sysout and not have to press CTRL+Space, but instead just by pressing Space after sysout.

This is already supported. See this answer. sysout is the the template and you can just hit tab to complete it. No need for CRTL+space. If it's really important to you to use space rather than tab, you would need to update the key bindings under Preferences > General > Editor > Keys, but it may interfere with other key bindings so I wouldn't suggest you change that.

Preferences > General > Editor > Keys

In column "Command" Search for "Content Assist", select it
Below in "Binding" erase the content (ctrl+space), and just press space
PRESS OK
DONE

See the image, it is easy
