IntelliJ: Generate switch case

Is there really no way to generate a switch case for a given variable in IntelliJ?

Ctrl+Space as well as Ctrl+J yield no results.

Create live template

Follow the steps in the manual…

For the context, use JAVA and the code for a switch - case Statement would be:

switch($switchVar$) {
case $value$:
    $END$
    break;
default:
    break;
}

Do the same for try - catch ;)

try {
$END$
} catch(Exception e) {e.printStackTrace();}

I love the template function in intellij and use it a lot.

For enum variables, enter switch (myEnumVar) and press Alt+Enter. Smart completion will suggest: Create missing 'switch' branches

Crazy Coder provided the following screenshot showing how to enable the Create Enum Switch Branches intention.

Intention: Create Enum Switch Branches
