There are script things and search/replace with scripts, but all that stuff doesn't make things faster for the developer. Borland had a good one, mickrozoft went overboard and it's slow -- -- Start recorder with a key sequence like (or something like that..). -- Type out the what you need, including arrow positions, inserts, deletes, all those keys - and you see it happening on the screen as you go. just like normal typing. -- End the recorder with a key sequence like ( or E - whatever) -- Play the recording with a keysequence like

-- Play again, and again, and again... This is great for doing repetative actions like taking a list of member variables and initializing them in a constructor, or greating a bunch of buttons on a screen, or setting up a bunch of events.. It saves DAYS of development time..... Many a time, I have based my choice of development IDE --SOLELY-- on the capability of the keyboard macro!!! I think emacs has some, but the rest of it isn't as nice as KDevelop --- all in all, I like KDevelop. It is much like Borland, (and too much like VS mukrolost), and I and my helper have been productive from day one (perhaps two, but who's counting?).. Thank you for doing a good job, and having the interest to listen to users...
