1.10.2 Abbreviation

A lot of typing can be saved in CodeBlocks by defining abbreviation. This is done by selecting ’Settings’ /’Editor’ and defining the abbreviations under the name <name>, which can then be called by the keyboard shortcut Ctrl-J (see Figure 1.3).

Parametrisation is also possible by including variables $(NAME) in the abbreviations.

When performing the abbreviation <name> in the source text and performing Ctrl-J, the content of the variable is requested and included.
