IntelliJ copy class field names and paste them into method as arguments?-CodePudding

I am designing a Vaadin UI component with around 30 components

e.g.

public class MyView {


private TextField foo;
private TextField bar;
private TextField bobby;
private TextField x;
private TextField y;
private TextField z;
private TextField ad;
private TextField nauseum;
private TextField thisisboring;


    public MyView() {
        formview.add(foo,bar,bobby,tables,x,y,z,ad,nauseum,thisisboring);
    }

}

I want to add all these fields as arguments into the formview.add() method. At the moment I am manually adding each field to this method.

Is there an easier way for IntelliJ to generate all these field names as arguments of a function?

(I really don't want to type 30 fields into a method)

Not a perfect solution, but use multi-caret selection:

First double click on the first identifier you need, then double click on each following identifier while holding Alt Shift down. You should have all the identifiers you need selected. Copy them to the clipboard using Cmd/Ctrl C. Put the caret between the parentheses of formview.add(). Don't hold any keys down, so you have only a single caret left. Paste Cmd/Ctrl V. All identifiers will be pasted on separate lines. Hold Alt and click and drag the mouse past the end of the selected lines (except the last one). This should add a caret at the end of every line. Type a , to add a comma between the pasted identifiers and optionally join lines Ctrl Shift J to put the call on a single line.

This should be quite a bit less work than typing everything out.

I can think of one naive approach: Declaring it like

private AbstractField<String> foo, bar, bobby, x, y, z, ad, nauseum, thisisboring;

and just copy/paste (or if there are multiple field types, at least group the same types)?

Or maybe better approach: as the root of the problem is probably too many parameters, we can encapsulate it:

        private FormFields formFields;

        public MyView() {
            formview.add(formFields.asArray());
        }

        public static class FormFields {

            private TextField foo;
            ...

            public Component[] asArray() {
                return new Component[]{foo, bar, bobby, x, y, z, ad, nauseum, thisisboring};
            }
            
            ... //getters etc.
        }
