Carlos, Thanks for the reply. I found a shorter workaround by creating a template for <code></code>, etc. I expand the templates then cut and paste the text into the templates. I hope a selection variable makes it into the final product.

For now there isn't. Workaround with more work that doing it by hand :) Go to Tools->IDE Options->Live Templates Edit the first template: '<' Check the java comment option. Now, when you want to htmlize a comment: Select and cut the "comment" you want to wrap. Press <+space+b+tab+control-v. result: <b>comment</b> Sometime ago there was a suggestion for keyboard macros in idea:) Carlos > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: segunda-feira, 5 de Novembro de 2001 00:31 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [Eap-list] Live Template variable for current selection? > > > Is there a way to define a live template variable for some currently > selected text?
