In PL/SQL Developer I use AutoReplace to insert "select * from" when I type "s*".
I find that very useful.
In Plyxon we have Code Snippets and macros, but they both are a bit awkward.
Macros are awkward to edit and has to be triggered by a ctrl-key combination. Both of these means it is awkward to define many.
Code Snippets are a better fit, but triggering them is a bit awkward.
If I create a snippet in a file with a good name, "select from.sql", I have to write "sel" and then pick it from a list of suggestions in the code completion.
The workaround I'm trying out now is to call the file "xxselect.sql". Then I can quickly type "xxs", get one suggestion and press return.
I can work with that, but it is a bit hackish.
Maybe it would be an idea to also have the same AutoReplace as in pl/sql developer?
