keyboard shortcut for class object in eclipse

class Demo{
    static void  Test(){
        System.out.println("hello");
    }
}

Is there any keyboard shortcut in eclipse for creating an object of a class declared above .

e.g after writing Demo followed by that shortcut , it should write as below 

Demo objname = new Demo();

Alt + Shift + L is a handy keyboard shortcut in Eclipse for creating an object of a class.

It’s a quick way to generate an instance of a class without having to manually type out the new keyword and the class name.

For those who might not be familiar with it, here’s how you can use it:

Navigate to the Class: First, make sure you’re in the right place in your code (e.g., within a method where you want to create the object).

Type the Shortcut: Press Alt + Shift + L simultaneously.

Eclipse will automatically insert the necessary code to create an object of the class at the cursor position.

Fill in the Details: If the class has constructors with parameters, Eclipse will prompt you to provide the required arguments. You can select the appropriate constructor and fill in the values.

I don't think you can do exactly that, but this is close:

Type new Demo() then ctrl-2 L (Quick Assist - Assign to local variable).

Eclipse will change the line to Demo demo = new Demo(); and give you a chance to rename the variable.
