assigning a shortcut to a template [message #1061495]

Hello,
I want to add a shortcut in eclipse so that every time
I will press this shortcut, the text "#include" will appear.

I added a template of #include, so when I type "in" and then ctrl-space
it gives me some suggestions, and "#include" is among them. However,
this is not enough- I prefer to define some shortcut for it.

In the past I did record a macro with "Practical Macro"

But according to:
http://www.questionhub.com/StackOverflow/3623214

"Practical Macro is not compatible with current 3.5 or 3.6 Eclipse)."

And it also says:
"There is no current macro language on Eclipse:"

Any ideas?

Regards,
Kevin

It seems to work fine if you just download jar and put it inside plugins directory.

Hello,
Thanks for your prompt response!
Indeed putting the jar of Practical Macro under plugins and restarting eclipse is OK.
I did record a macro and I can play it from the GUI.
Probably the one who answered about that it does not work in these versions was wrong.

I tried to assign a short cut to this macro and I cannot find how.

Any ideas?

rgs,
Kevin
