Surround code fragments

GoLand provides standard templates for surrounding code fragments with various constructs based on the language of the source code. This includes if...else conditional statements, for loops, folding regions, and other constructs.

Surround a code block with language constructs

Select a code fragment.
Press Ctrl+Alt+T or go to Code | Surround With in the main menu.
Select the necessary surround statement from the list. When you hover over an option, you will see a preview of the change that will be applied if you select that statement.

This feature applies to the following languages (contexts):

Context	Surround with
XML/HTML tags	Tag CDATA section <% ... %> Emmet
JavaScript statements	`(expr)` `!(expr)` `if` `if / else` `while` `do / while` `for` `try / catch` `try / finally` `try / catch / finally` `with` `function` `{ }` `function expression`
Go statements	`if { statements }` `if { statements } else { }` `for { statements }` `{ statements }`
Go expressions	`(expression)` `if expression { }` `if expression { } else { }` `!(expression)` The `if`, `if / else`, and `!` options require a boolean expression.
Custom folding region comments	Any fragment of code, where Surround With is applicable.
