PhpStorm - HTML 5 boilerplate code snippet

Question

I am an avid user of Visual Studio Code and before that Sublime Text. I have recently started using PhpStorm for my Laravel projects and I am really missing the ability to instantly produce a simple HTML 5 boilerplate template by simply typing html + TAB.

Is there anything similar in PhpStorm?

! + Tab IIRC.

In IDEA-based IDEs it's called Live Templates. IDE also supports Emmet.

All Live Templates can be found at Settings/Preferences | Editor | Live Templates -- you can modify exiting or add your own (I suggest using own groups for own templates -- less possible hassle with updates and sharing).

Snippets for HTML (plus standard Emmet abbreviations) are located under Zen HTML node.

You can also customise the expand key:

by default it's offered among usual Tab, Space and Enter .. but you can also configure your own shortcut.
each Live Template can be set to use different expand key (among those mentioned above) .. although I do not really see any real benefit for this.

You can also use File Templates ([ 1 ] and [ 2 ]) to make files with some predefined content/structure.
