Snippet creation keystroke/shortcut in Eclipse

So I was using Eclipse and I went to go copy some import statements I had selected. I somehow mis-typed, and the coolest thing happened: a snippet package was created, and a Snippet.java class was created that looked like this:

package snippet;

public class Snippet {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Selected code
    }
}

Does anyone know what the keyboard shortcut for doing this is? It seems like a immensely useful feature to have. I have tried searching online, but had no luck.

This is what happens when you copy code and paste it into the Package Explorer. If you have a project selected, it will create the snippet package, if you have nothing selected then it will create a new java project named _pasted_code_
