Does Eclipse have a plugin for code clips like in Coda?

There is a very useful "Clips" feature in Coda, does Eclipse have such feature?

What it does is pretty simple, you save a code clip once, which you use very often and assign it a shortcut and when you want to re-use you type the shortcut and it automatically pastes it and sets the caret at the defined position.

e.g. when I type 4dom and press TAB it types this:

jQuery(function($){
    //puts cursor here
});

so, how do you do this in Eclipse?

Solution

  • In Eclipse they are called Templates. You can find this in Window->Preferences then JavaScript/Editor/Templates.

    It will allow you to create or edit.
