Thank you very much!!! This works like a charm. I'll have to look at the macro language a bit more.
Here is something else that I'd like to have automated. I often need to set the class of an element (for CSS styling). It is a bit tedious to type Ctrl+E cl Down Enter (type name) Enter. It would be really nifty if I could hit, say, Esc K, and get a popup like with the Esc C "insert character". I'd like to pre-populate it with my favorite choices so I get autocomplete. Can I do that? NB. I am in the middle of writing a book with XXE, using XHTML and CSS, and I am very happy with it.
