You might try it with an abbreviation instead:
:iab foreach foreach(<space>)<cr>{<cr><cr>}<up><up><up><end><left><left>
which allows you to see it as you type it (also expands on <space>
which I prefer over <enter>).
Setting 'showcmd' doesn't quite do it (it shows each letter
in-place), but it's not a bad followup solution.
