I'm not aware of a keyboard short-cut, but there's a right-click available.

Highlight the code for your try block.
Right click and select
"Surround with..." Scroll down the selection until you see the "try" snippet label.
There you go!

Hope this helps!

I'll dig around to see if there's a keyboard short cut for this. There probably is -- there's hundreds of them.

UPDATE: Looks like the keyboard shortcut is Ctrl + K, Ctrl + S.
