IntelliJ Code Templates

I was wondering if it is possible to create code templates with IntelliJ. I would like to save my getInstance() method into a variable, or something along those lines, and while I'm coding, can use the variable to generate my getInstance() method. Is this possible? If so how?

Thanks again, Niknea.

You already have it (at least in the new versions of IntelliJ): use the shortcut: geti (and press tab). Tested successfully on IntelliJ 13.0.3

ottrob pointed where it's defined: under "Live Templates" click the "Other" section and when it's expended you should see it defined as the first item.

There are live templates which you can create.

Settings->Live Templates

There are lots of existing live templates already. Just add a new one.

For ex.: 'iter' is a already defined live template. When you code you just can type 'iter' (without quotes) and then press the tab button. This will produce a for loop.
