Expanding and creating code templates in Eclipse when using emacs keybindings

Question

How do I expand code templates in Eclipse when using the emacs keybindings?
Is there a hotkey for turning selected code into a template?

Answer 1

apparently for C/C++ you have to enable templates in
window->preferences->C/C++->Editor->content-assist->advanced.

uncheck everything except templates and check templates in both the upper and lower boxes.

then in an editor type a template name like

for

and hit Alt-/ to expand it into

for (var = 0; var < max; ++var) {

}

use tab to fill in the blanks

NOTE: eclipse 3.5
