1. is there any posibility to bind code-templates to a key?
   
2. can I teach eclipse to insert a '<br />' when I'm hitting ctrl+return in html-mode, instead of a linebreak?
   
3. when mixing html and php, I usually use short tags for outputs. When I start typing <? it auto inserts a <?php ?>, so if i want to use shorttags <?=$foo?> this habbit costs a lot of time - can I deactivate it?
   
4. where is the definition list for php keywords stored? I like to have AND/OR also in the keywordlist for syntax highlighting, but don't know where to add it.
   
5. really bothering is that the eclipse viewport jumps, when undoing something. If I hit strg+z, it the last step is undone, but the viewport also jumps, so the line where the undoing action happend "jumps" to line 26 of the visible lines. How can i stop this from happening?
   
6. when I have an IF in php, followed by a single command, I dont use brackets, but intend the command with one tab in the next line. ctrl+i dont recognize this dependency between the command and the IF, so it dont intend the code, that is only executet if the condition is true (same problem with loops)
   Example:
   

   if(true)
       foo();
   //ctrl+i changes it to
   if(true)
   foo();
   

   
   
7. another problem with ctrl+i and with shift-tab, is removing indenting. It works fine, as long a there are tabs used for intending. But as soon as you'll get a file, that uses 4 whitespace instead of one tab (or even mixes whitespace and tabs), it fails. How can I make eclipse, to treat 4 white spaces as one tab, when shifting code to the left?
   
8. when double clicking on code to select a word, some of the selecting habbits of eclipse are not that productiv for me.
   Example: foo.class.php - double click on foo should select only foo, but in eclipse the whole string foo.class.php is selected. Same problem with foo/bar. Is there any file where I can edit those "stop selecting" characters ?
   
9. A last thing: I'd like to make some small text-manipulating-custom-scripts running over my Code, like removing whitespaces, changing some chars against others and stuff like that - is there an easy to use interface for userdefinded scripts, where I can access the content of the current editor and modify it, or do I need to programm a whole plugin for those simple tasks?

Third, you've asked too many questions. Break it down in to smaller
posts (but don't post them all at the same time) to make it easier to
respond.
