This would be really cool :) If everyone agree, let's open an issue. There is this kind of things in JetBrains Tools but with autocompletion instead of shortcut. You have some expression that make pop the autocompletion dialog to change it on piece of code. For example in Intellij you can type "sout" and the autocompletion will propose "System.out.println()". -- Cyril Ferlicot http://www.synectique.eu 165 Avenue Bretagne Lille 59000 France
