The Source Editor has a set of customizable abbreviations that you can use. When you type an abbreviation and then press the spacebar, the abbreviation is expanded into a whole word or phrase.

For example, if you type Psfb and then press the spacebar, these letters are expanded to public static final boolean.

Other abbreviations include ca (catch ( ), ex (extends), and sout (System.out.println(").

Each type of editor in the Source Editor (Java, HTML, plain text, and so on) has its own list of abbreviations. You can edit or add to these lists by choosing Tools | Options, expanding the Editor Settings node, selecting an editor type, clicking the Abbreviations property, and clicking the ellipsis (...) button to open the Abbreviations property editor.
