The File template editor lets you manage your file templates.
The
Te m p l a t e s
tab lists all the templates in the system. The color of the tem-
plate name indicates the type of template and its status, and the icon tells you
the file type:
Bold—
A default template that can be edited but not removed
■
Black—
A default template that can be edited or removed
■
Blue—
A user-defined or -edited template
■
To edit a template, select it from the list. Doing so loads the template into the edit
window in the upper-right corner. You can see that a template is a combination of
static text and scripting variables.
To restore one of the bundled templates to its default values, shut down
IDEA
and delete the template file from
IDEA
's config folder under the
fileTemplates
directory. The next time you start
IDEA
, the default
template will be restored.
