Modify template used in generating `toString` method in Java code editor in IntelliJ
I have seen some documentation such as this and some Stack Overflow questions like this which talk about templates, perhaps Velocity templates, used by IntelliJ when generating a toString method in a Java class.
But no where can I find where this template lives, or how to access it from within IntelliJ.
➥ Exactly how does one find and edit the toString generation template in IntelliJ 2018?

It's OK, selecttoString()from the contextual menu. ... now you have one upvote. My only concern: I'm having the Ultimate edition and I'm not sure this feature is available for Community edition.

@EugenCovaci Well, d'uh! I see now. Thank you. I did not think about clicking theSettingsbutton. I had not realized there was more going on there than a simple pick-list.
