Re: Desperate need for defining shortcuts facility

Are you looking for keyboard shortcuts?  In NB 6.1 (and earlier 
versions) there are two things you can do:

Go to Tools (menu) | Options | Editor

1) Click on the 'Code Templates' tab.  You can define one type of 
shortcuts here.  This shortcut lets you type in a short piece of text 
and have it expanded to longer text.  As an example, if you type (in a 
.java file using the editor) the shortcut 'sout' and hit the 'Tab' key, 
'sout' will be expanded to 'System.out.println("");

2) Click on the 'Macros' tab.  Here you can define a macro (you can also 
define a macro by recording it using 'Edit (menu) | Start Recording 
Macro' and 'Edit (menu) | Stop Recording Macro') by typing in macro 
code.  You can then create a keyboard shortcut to execute this code.
