For simple things like begin/end, class/end we don't need the
codetools, but simple text code templates. For more complex tasks you
can use macro functions, which can trigger anything including the
codetools. See for example $ProcName().

Not yet. But this is easy to implement.
The above examples (being/end) are triggered by pressing 'return'.
Of course not all templates should be triggered by pressing 'return',
so every template need an own set of triggers.
What about other triggers? For example space, tab, semicolon, ...
