Is this something a developer can add to? For example, say that I want to set up something like ....

Typing: "todo"

and B4x would complete it as ...

' ################
' TODO: 08/01/2015 01:32:68
' My Name is Joe, Company XYZ
' [cursor blinking here ready for typing]
'################


or even something like ...


Typing: "dowhileif"

completes as ...

Do While [cursor here]
If

End If
Loop

While it isn't really "blocks completion", it's more of a "code completion" or "command completion". VFP developers know what I'm talking about and just how useful / powerful that implementation is.

Talking about some simple typing ideas:

I like that when I type
B4X:
$"
, B4J autocompletes to
B4X:
$""$
and puts the caret correctly inbetween the 2 double quotes :
B4X:
$"|"$

Therefore I think it should be the same when I type ${}:
B4X:
$"Example:${}"$
The caret should go inbetween the 2 curly brackets, instead of staying behind the last curly bracket:
B4X:
$"Example:${}|"$
'like this>
$"Example:${|}"$
$"Example:${someVariable|}"$
That way we could type faster

Tell me if it's not clear
