Keyboard shortcut for templates

[Gaz]

Hi

I can see how the templates would be really useful and have set up a couple of my own already (PLSQL Developer 7.1), but was wondering if there's a way to set up a hotkey to action a certain template. e.g. CTRL+SPACE to write a company standard PL/SQL block or what have you?

Replacements are fine for one line entries, and macro's okay for firing one thing, but I'd like to set up several basic templates and have a keyboard shortcut for these.

Many thanks in advance

Maybe the template plugin I created can help you with this?

Thanks for the response, but regrettably when I attempt to install the plug-in I get a dialogue box saying installation failed, and no other log or information to determine what the issue might be.

Also note that you can use the AutoReplace function to invoke templates. See Tools > Preferences > Editor / AutoReplace.

Just extract the .dll file from the zip and dump it in your plugins folder. That should do the trick of installing ;-)

Thanks guys -

patch - what's the set up executable that comes with the zip file for then?

Marco - got template invocation working, cheers

Thanks again

Gaz,

The setup executable is for easy install. Provided by Allround. I just edit the text file to tell the setup what files to copy. The setup executable finds the correct location (normally) and does the copying.
