Short Cut of Generating predefined/custom templates

Press Ctrl + Alt + T

Surround with many blocks like

if/else
{}

Select the code you want to surround with try/catch and press Alt + Shift + Z, this will bring up try/catch along with any other applicable templates like this:

To generate a try/catch block type 'try' and press ctrl + space.

The Ctrl + Shift + T shortcut launches the terminal in the eclipse version I am using - 2019-03.

Highlight the necessary code you need to surround with, and press one of the key combinations depending upon your Operating System.

Windows: Ctrl + Alt + T

Linux(Ubuntu): Ctrl + Windows + Alt + T

Mac: Cmd + Alt + T

A list of Surround With options would pop (like in the below image). You can select the appropriate item of your choice either by pressing the respective number of the item on keyboard or manually via mouse click.

Highlight the code you want to surround with try/catch

For Windows it is:

Press Ctrl + Alt + t

For Mac it is:

Press cmd + Alt + t

Select the item you want (#7 for try / catch)

There is no need to "type" try first however, highlighting your code works better.

In Ubuntu Gnome, Ctrl + Alt + T has been taken already by "Launch terminal", run command gnome-control-center keyboard to check:

Either you disable it by press Back Space OR use Ctrl + Alt + Win + T as alternative.

Keep in mind that if "try / catch" option doesn't shows up, it might caused by warning such as "unexpected token" in your code. You need to fix it first.
