How can I change the phpstorm custom constructor template?

Question

I'm using phpstorm code > Generate... > constructor to get:

function __construct()
{
}

But I want:

public function __construct()
{
}

How can I change the template? Can't find anything and I don't want to use live templates instead (I like the generate function).

How can I change the template?

You cannot. There is no template for constructor unfortunately.

You can do this by opening the preferences window. In there you'll find "File and Code Templates". On the code tab you can adjust all templates.
