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?
