Description SandeepJ CLA 2005-12-11 23:05:07 EST
Hello,

     I am SandeepJ (27, male, J2EE developer) from India. I would like to
 suggest that we can add a new feature by which Users can create a 'Macro'
 (what we call in other editors like TEXTPAD etc.) . That is a sequence of
 keystrokes which can be saved and assigned a ShortCut key. User can then
 press it to type the 'ALL' text She/He wanted to.

     This will be helpful in typing 'Overused' statements like
  System.out.println("");  (The Great SOP debug statement ...!!!)
  myLogger.debug("");
  myLogger.error("");
  myLogger.warn(""); (whatever...)
  
    Currently There is a facilty which provides Users to have a sequence and
 a ShortCut for it. BUT Key Sequence has limitation of few (4)
 characters only. We cannot have more keystrokes saved for a ShortCut.
 If we implement this, Users can 'Create(Record) and save the Macros and
  run/play them' wherever and whenever they want.

  ( If you can use sandienet@yahoo.com
    ALSO along with sjjoshi@mahindrabt.com
    I would be greatful,  as later one is temporary. )

Thanks and Regards,
Sandie

What you describe sounds like templates: already now you can add your 'Overused' statements to a template and then simply use code assist (Ctrl+Space) to insert it. Did you try that?
