Rubymine shortcut to insert <%= %>

Question

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

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

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:

Edit | Macros | Start Macro Recording
Type re, then Tab
Edit | Macros | Stop Macro Recording
Save it under RubyExpression name

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

@JohnWu make a copy as you can't modify the default keymap. – CrazyCoder Oct 10 '14 at 11:23

I'm not sure if there is a shortcut or not, but usually you can just type in the first portion, and rubymine will auto close it. You just have to hit a space after you do the opening. So doing:

<%' ' outputs=> <% /code %>
<%=' ' outputs=> <%= /code %>

And it does this for the rest of the openings.

I show it listed as Cmd-Shift-., but that's also mapped to folding. I remapped mine to Cmd-Shift-,.

(Plain IntelliJ; RubyMine may vary slightly.)

@TylerDeWitt See CrazyCoder's answer. I went into the keymap, narrowed on "erb", and there it was. – Dave Newton Mar 09 '12 at 18:58
