I think the Control-Shift-1 functionality is fairly new -- I only got it working after I upgraded FD to Beta 9. But yes, it rocks. You can also use it on your "implements <Interface>" text to generate placeholder functions for everything in that interface. Try it!
Personally, I tend to use getters and setters only when I'm making a class that primarily functions like a Perl hash (or a Python dictionary or whatever the kids are using these days). If I use it to much with other classes, I start to worry that I've created public variables when I shouldn't have, and it constantly distracts me. --T On Tue, Dec 9, 2008 at 8:44 AM, Joel Stransky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > Wow I didn't know that about FD.
