Question

I’m having this issue: I program a lot in several programming
languages.

I need to enter a lot of code every day, but I recently was using
NetBeans and when (in Java), you type sout{TAB}, it returns
System.out.println"{this is where the cursor is, so I can begin
typing in here right away}";

I think this could be done using AutoHotkey, but how?

What I would like to have is a possibility to insert certain commands,
like echo{TAB} and it would replace with echo ("{this is where the
cursor is, so I can begin typing in here right away}");

If possible, I’d like to be able to tell where the cursor will be and
copy/paste what I would like a command to be replaced with.

Regards, Aart

Answer 1

I figured it out! 🙂

:*:echo`t::echo (""); {left 4}

If you want to use it in PHP, for example, to type a while really fast, use:

:*:query`t::$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table");{ENTER}while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {{}{ENTER}{ENTER}{}}{left 2}
