Question

Using IntelliJ when i type try followed by Ctrl-Space (autocomplete), i get nothing added

Instead, i’d like to see

  try {
    // do something great
  } catch {
    case e: Exception => // handle me
  }

Language is Scala, if this matters.

How can i define autocomplete pattern as shown above?
