Keyboard Macros

If you repeatedly use the same keystrokes within the code editor, it might be handy to automate these keyboard handlings. This can be done by using the keyboard macro functionality. Keyboard macros are for example used to automate cut and paste actions in your code (e.g. shifting the left and right values).

To start recording the keyboard handlings, you use the key combination "Ctrl+Shift+R". Next, you perform the handlings that must be copied to the macro. Press Ctrl+Shift+R to finish and save the macro.

To play back the macro, use the shortcut "Ctrl+Shift+P".

Although it is of course possible to automate simple code adding actions with the keyboard macro, it would not be very adequate. In those cases it is better to use code templates.
